Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

Serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment, the U.S. Army helped me find aspects of a home that I missed growing up and joining Fuqua feels like coming home all over again.

The Executive MBA program is about becoming the best executive you can be, whether you are one already or not.

During my time in the 22-month program, I have gained invaluable insights into finance, operations, managerial accounting, entrepreneurship, and business strategy.

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. 

As I near the twilight of my time at Fuqua, I can attest to the life-changing experience that only the Weekend Executive MBA learning journey can provide.

When reflecting on my career as a woman of color (WoC), a feeling to continue to aim for excellence became increasingly stronger as I added more experience to my resume, and I knew I wanted change.

When I showed up at Fuqua for the Weekend Executive program kickoff, I found parallels between running ultramarathons and pursuing my MBA.

My experience here was absolutely amazing and I would like to share it with you.
