Duke MMS Student Blog

As a devotee of Steve Jobs and his disruptive approach to marketing, I always knew I’d wind up a marketing guy somewhere down the line.

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

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.

This decision to enroll at Fuqua is not an easy one to make and lots of factors should be weighed when doing so. I’ve put together the exact questions and factors that I took into consideration when I made the decision to attend Fuqua.

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.

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.

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.
