Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

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

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

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

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

The ability to work and study together on campus was an experience that was invaluable to my time in the program.

When I decided to go back to school for my MBA, I had three goals: improve my leadership skills, expand my knowledge of business, and meet new people.

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

As anyone who runs their own business knows, entrepreneurship ain’t easy! Your business takes over every single thought in your head from morning till night when you rest your precious little head on the pillow.

Now that my admissions experience is in the rearview and my transition back to school is complete, I wanted to write about my experience in the Weekend Executive MBA Program at The Fuqua School of Business. Here are my reflections on the most relevant parts of the experience so far.
