I had the opportunity to be surrounded by people who had incredible minds while advancing my education.

Fraternities and sororities are a great way for undergraduate students to enter new social circles and establish lifelong networks.

I sought out Fuqua’s Weekend Executive MBA program because it was the best fit for where I currently am in my career.
