Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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.

These experiences and learnings have not only prepared me for the business world but have also shaped me into a more resilient and empathetic individual.

The Team Fuqua spirit is what continues to drive my connections with my classmates, professors, colleagues, and current Fuqua students.
