Duke MMS Student Blog

Entering the MMS program, I was eager to immerse myself in a multicultural team-based environment and to learn more about the practice of business.

As I took classes at Fuqua, I realized there were so many areas of business I had never considered going into.

My advice to anyone looking to join the education industry: do it!

As a result of the pandemic, MMS: DKU graduates of the Class of 2022 navigated virtual courses and the uncertainty of global conditions, but also experienced record-breaking job success.

In the Class of 2022 Employment Report, new highs in job acceptances and salary show the previous year’s success was more than just a temporary rebound from tumultuous times.

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.

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

It’s been just over three years since I graduated from the MMS program and I wanted to reflect on how Fuqua prepared me for the challenges ahead.

Everyone’s career path and goals look different, but every Duke, Fuqua, and other resource I speak of in this article can definitely help you figure out yours in some way.

Similar to a lot of other students, when I arrived at Fuqua I wasn’t sure what industry I wanted to pursue a career in yet.
