Duke MMS Student Blog

Climbing has always been my safe haven, and I am grateful that Fuqua actively supports me in sharing my passion with my classmates.

In recent years, there has been strong representation from Duke student-athletes in the MMS: FOB program. As a member of the Track & Field team, I have been able to experience the balance between academics and athletics at Duke.

Fall break might be just a break for most of the students, but for some in our community, it was more than just that.

I knew MMS would help bridge the gaps in my college experience caused by the pandemic. What I did not know, however, was that every day I would get the chance to look back and see firsthand how much of a life-changing opportunity attending Duke and Fuqua was for me.

It’s definitely fun to hang out with a group of people different from those in your program, as you get to learn different perspectives, opinions and lots of ideas.

It’s back to college for many students in Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies program and the start already feels accelerating as well as exhilarating!

An essential value of the Fuqua School of Business for me is culture and community, which once embraced, leave you a part of this big family for the rest of your life.

As someone who desperately needed this when I was searching for a place to live a year ago, I’ll be giving you details that I wish I had known when I was going through this process.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for them as they positively impact their colleagues, companies and communities!
