Duke MMS Student Blog

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.

As a student-led organization supporting first-generation and low-income students, LIFE gave me a sense of belonging I hadn’t realized I was missing.

The Fuqua experience encapsulated the skills to pursue my goals in ways that went beyond the classroom.

Long after we leave Duke, memories like these will be the ones that stick with us!

When I was trying to decide if I wanted to attend Fuqua, visiting the campus made a big difference.

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.

The team-focused structure of the MMS program was ideal because I was joining a new academic team in addition to being welcomed to Duke’s cross country team in the fall.

I am deeply grateful to Fuqua for being such an important part of my life.

When I went back to Kunshan and started my spring semester at DKU, it felt familiar and strange at the same time.
