The India and Pakistan Independence Day celebration event enabled me to meet the individuals who are presently my closest friends in the MQM program.

Here is a glimpse into the bits and pieces of my everyday life as a Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) student.

The Business Communication and Data Visualization classes helped me to spend more time thinking and practicing how to present data analytics results.

My Capstone Project was consulting for the Duke University Baseball team.

Now that we've graduated and most of my MQM classmates and I have entered our permanent vacations from academia, I can honestly say—I miss online classes.

I didn't know that everyone is alone together. hough that may sound a bit existential, I soon realized that I wasn’t the only one in the program who left everything behind to attend Duke in hopes of building a better life.
