Duke MMS Student Blog

The MMS: Foundations of Business (MMS: FOB) Class of 2024 has given us plenty to cheer for, as they remained determined and resilient in a difficult job market.

The wisdom of Fuqua's alumni network and CMC resources have been instrumental in navigating the intricacies of recruiting as an international student.

Our 2023 MMS graduates navigated a challenging market with strength and adaptability.

It doesn’t seem long ago that I first entered the halls of my dream school, and yet here I am, already reminiscing on my time at Fuqua.

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.

Academically, having the opportunities to interact with my peers in a diverse student body has also helped me begin to learn how to work effectively in multicultural environments and tackle global challenges.

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!
