Duke MMS Student Blog

The MMS: Foundations of Business (MMS: FOB) Class of 2024 has given us plenty to cheer for, as they remained determined and resilient in a difficult job market.

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.

Each day is made easier by applying what I learned at Fuqua to the actual business world.

The wisdom of Fuqua's alumni network and CMC resources have been instrumental in navigating the intricacies of recruiting as an international student.

I can say the opportunity to attend Fuqua was an opportunity of a lifetime, helping me discover my career path for myself.

Our 2023 MMS graduates navigated a challenging market with strength and adaptability.

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.

I knew MMS would help bridge the gaps in my college experience caused by the pandemic. What I did not know, however, was that every day I would get the chance to look back and see firsthand how much of a life-changing opportunity attending Duke and Fuqua was for me.

It’s been just over three years since I graduated from the MMS program and I wanted to reflect on how Fuqua prepared me for the challenges ahead.

I found myself more excited than ever about my future career path. I had been exposed to consulting, which appeared to be a perfect fit. The field appeared to line up neatly with my skills and personality, however, one glaring issue still existed: I had absolutely no experience in the industry.
