Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

I was ready to start my MBA when I received life-shattering news.

Spend less time optimizing the experience from the outside and more time preparing to participate in it. That’s when it starts to feel like Team Fuqua.

Through the exhaustion, anxiety, and uncertainty, I found strength, growth, and community.

Things that used to feel natural suddenly become unfamiliar and uncomfortable. This was all to be expected, but when I arrived in Durham, I faced a challenge I never could’ve anticipated.

I’m so grateful for everything Fuqua has given me — new friends, new experiences, and a much bigger, more colorful world.

From day one, the Fuqua community was incredible in welcoming me and my husband.

The Fuqua staff, at all levels, went above and beyond to give us the support we needed even while they were navigating all this uncertainty for the first time themselves.

When I was applying to business school, I wasn’t sure how I would fit in as a student without a quantitative background.

FuquaVision is one of Fuqua's oldest clubs.
