Duke MMS Student Blog

Across these 25 moments, students discover what makes the MMS experience transformative: deep community, academic challenge, global exposure, and personalized career support.

I came to Fuqua hoping to find my place. What I found instead was a community that made me feel like I’ve belonged all along.

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.
