Duke MQM Student Blog

It feels like only yesterday that I stepped into the world of Duke's MQM program, yet it’s astounding how much I have grown since then.

DISI is an organization, open to all graduate students across the professional schools at Duke, that provides pro bono consulting services to non-profits in Durham and nearby communities.

Already being familiar with the Fuqua building, Duke’s campus, and downtown Durham was a very comforting feeling that helped get rid of those first-day nerves.

Here are some common topics that I've been asked about during my time as an admissions ambassador.

As a student at Fuqua, I wanted to do something more for my classmates, something that would help bring us closer together and create long-lasting memories for everyone.

I really wanted to make the most out of what’s come to feel like a wonderful pitstop on my career journey.

MQM students always have the opportunity to unwind with their classmates, attend activities to refresh after a demanding week and make the most of their time at Fuqua. 

When I looked into what Team Fuqua meant, I saw that it was described as a whole that values strong friendship, places great importance on collaboration, and is ready to support each other at all times.

Every week in this program is different but here’s a look at what a typical week looks like for me.

Now four terms into MQM, I’m excited to share that I secured my first job in tech, and I wanted to share my experience and some tips on how I got to this point!
