Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

When I was applying to business schools, I knew that one of the main reasons I was getting an MBA was to pivot into marketing.

At Fuqua, there's no shortage of avenues for support when it comes to academics, career, and new opportunities to stretch yourself. The Duke MBA Marketing Club is a great example.

Within Fuqua’s Entrepreneurship & Venture Capital Club, we are focused on so much more than just that stereotypical tech entrepreneur (though we have some of those, too).

I knew the experience and skills gained through an MBA would help make me an even better HR leader.

I came to business school with many goals for my personal and professional development, but my career goal was singular: I was going to get a job in consulting.

Here at Fuqua, we believe that design thinking is a fun, creative way to answer questions, design products, and ideate process improvements. We strive to introduce these skills and provide a fun environment in which to practice them.

We co-founded the Duke MBA FinTech Club in the Spring of 2018, with the goal of fostering a community passionate about financial technology at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and to create an ecosystem that supports MBA students in pursuing careers within the industry

During my first year, I had the chance to participate in one of the Duke MBA Marketing Club’s premier annual events, the Brand Challenge. Each year, the club partners with different brands including Dell, P&G, The Hershey Company, and Clorox to put on the Brand Challenge, and it has become a veritable tradition here at Fuqua
