Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

Team Fuqua challenges me professionally, and academically every day, while providing a support system with the ultimate goal of creating better leaders.

Fuqua's team format has been an incredibly unique experiment for learning, leading, and organizing the workload we face as students.   

A small percentage of Americans have served in the military, and it’s an honor and a privilege to say that I’m one of them, alongside heroes like Tim Myland and Tim Miller—two great guys with the best of intentions.

Being in a learning environment surrounded by brilliant people is refreshing and inspiring.

Once a month, I get to switch gears from professional to student, and I do that on the drive to Durham for residencies.

This project was an opportunity to deepen the relationship with our peers and the relationship with the community, but it is also an opportunity to deepen the relationship with the institution and future generations of students.

Altogether, we raised more than $4,000 to fund the Rise Against Hunger meal kits.

I had little to no exposure to subjects like managerial accounting or financial management as a military officer, but I am able to learn about them now at Fuqua.

A busy day during an elective residency starts with an early run with my Weekend Executive MBA classmates.
