Duke MMS Student Blog

I found my seat in a lecture hall during our Duke Master of Management Studies orientation session. I was too nervous to bother with what time it was.

Coming to Fuqua has been my dream for as long as I can remember.

Joining #TeamFuqua was never a lifelong dream, but when I learned it was a possibility, it quickly became one.

My parents raised me to be a part of something bigger than myself.

I chose Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies: Duke Kunshan University program for its team-emphasis culture.

I was sold on “Team Fuqua” from my first day at MMS orientation. What I didn’t realize is that this team mentality would become the most valuable aspect of my time here both personally and professionally.

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.

Attending admissions events is an important part of your graduate school search. Not only does it give you a chance to learn more about the school and program, but it could also potentially help you while writing admission essays.

Shooters is not a monopoly. Yes, it might be the closest and most club-like establishment in Durham. However, there are so many other options for a fun night out that aren’t as widely circulated.

I graduated from Fuqua’s MMS program back in 2017 and have been working and living in New York ever since. In those three years after MMS, I have been able to apply the business toolkit that I acquired here at Duke to my product marketing job.
