Duke MMS Student Blog

What began as a personal passion project has grown into a full-fledged business, supported by the skills and community I found at Fuqua.

A combination of support and initiative from our client gave this project depth and direction, helping me gain the confidence to engage with professionals, ask better questions, and approach problems with a more practical mindset.

Fuqua is a place where we are inspired to draw on our diverse backgrounds to enrich every class and conversation, allowing me to channel my growth mindset and values every day.

The Business, Communication, and Culture (BCC) program was designed to take the guesswork out of the adjustment period and equip our students with the confidence they need for a strong start.

While attending Fuqua was one stop on my journey, my mission to become a franchisee in the pet industry began long before my time at Duke.

Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship allowed me to immerse myself in a world that transcends conventional learning.

The Fuqua Startup Marketplace event served as a pivotal moment, showcasing the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit within the Fuqua and Duke communities.

Professor Kevin Chen's class taught us more than just becoming a preparer in accounting.

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.

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.
