Duke MMS Student Blog

I am genuinely impressed by how Fuqua’s community-focused approach quickly transformed a diverse group of individuals into a close-knit cohort and supportive friends.

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.

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.

Being part of the MMS: Duke Kunshan University (MMS: DKU) program at Fuqua has been a life-changing experience.

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.

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.

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.
