Duke MMS Student Blog

From athletes and entrepreneurs to engineers and content creators, I met people whose stories reshaped how I listened, how I asked questions, and how I lead.

I knew I could load my plate with school, activities, and so much more; I needed to be intentional about how I spent my short time at Duke.

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.

As a graphic designer, I've always been passionate about the intersection of art and technology.

As I decided to leave my full-time job and go to graduate school, one of the motivating factors to attend Fuqua was the opportunity to grow as a leader.

I initially joined Fuqua's MMS program for its business skills and prestigious education, but I found an incubator for student leaders, united by the Team Fuqua spirit.

Everyone’s career path and goals look different, but every Duke, Fuqua, and other resource I speak of in this article can definitely help you figure out yours in some way.

Fresh into the MMS program, I wanted an opportunity to hone my client-facing skills, while gaining hands-on consulting experience and I stumbled upon Duke Interdisciplinary Social Innovators.

Being a student leader at Fuqua can mean many different things, and a big part of that process in MMS is giving students the space to decide what that means for themselves on an individual level.
