Duke MQM Student Blog

While MQM events are great social activities, they help students build the interpersonal skills that recruiters look for and create a community that makes the MQM experience more meaningful and memorable.

I’m grateful to Duke and Fuqua for offering me not just an education, but a place where I felt seen long before I was officially a student.

Pursuing a degree was a way to redefine myself beyond being a wife and mother and to invest in the professional identity I wanted to build.

Despite all of my fears, I stepped out of my comfort zone, embodying Team Fuqua without even realizing it.

At Fuqua, I was constantly learning how data could enhance marketing creativity.

From the very beginning, I knew the MQM program was going to be incredibly diverse. I was determined to take advantage of the opportunity to connect with as many people as possible.

As an international student who had never been to the U.S., I faced many challenges, and I hope these tips help others thrive at Fuqua.

My time at Duke was life-changing in more ways than one, and while the experience was incredible, I’m most grateful for the friendships I developed along the way.

Together, we’ve navigated academic challenges, explored the vibrant city of Durham, and built a strong support system.
