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.

MQM gave me the space to struggle, learn, and improve without feeling like I was falling behind.

As members of the MQM program, career, and admissions teams, we’re often asked what makes the MQM experience special.

Whether it was a teammate patiently explaining Python syntax for the fourth time or a professor turning complex math into something funny and digestible, I always felt supported.

The decision to become an admissions ambassador wasn’t just about getting involved on campus — it was about giving back to a community that had already given me so much.

The opportunity to attend a NASCAR race confirmed my passion and career ambitions, and as I embark on my career search, I feel confident that motorsports is where I belong.

Amid the challenges of the MQM program — whether grappling with various machine learning methods or mastering the design of data visualization dashboards — I could always rely on the abundance of sporting events throughout the year as a welcome reprieve.

"Should we build this?" is more than just a question; it's a way of thinking.

At Fuqua, the essence of the MQM program extends far beyond the classroom.

I’m not sure if I want to start an entirely new career or if I would instead be happy working in a data analysis position in the automotive industry. My time in South Korea will be a good moment to thoroughly think about my possible choices.
