Duke MMS Student Blog

On my very first day at Fuqua, I had the opportunity to meet my four incredible teammates, each bringing unique perspectives from around the world.

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.

As students, it’s easy to let our responsibilities overshadow the simple, meaningful moments in life. My time at Fuqua so far has shown me that it is possible to achieve professional goals while having fun.

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

While Fuqua's Durham campus and DKU offer different experiences, one commonality is the emphasis on connecting with my classmates.

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.

At Fuqua, we’re always being pushed out of our comfort zone and encouraged to branch out from our usual activities.

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

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.
