Duke MMS Student Blog

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!

When I decided to travel to Durham at the start of the MMS program, I swore to myself that I will get out of my little bubble of comfort.

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.
