Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

Facing the unknown and going after a long-term goal, there is no substitute for being fully aligned, fully committed, and ready to show up for each other.

Life is challenging, but when you have a cheerleader on your team or someone who believes in you despite your flaws or fears, you can do what seems impossible.

It wasn’t until I came to Fuqua, that I understood there was one more stage we should be striving to achieve, one of interdependence.

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.

As I started to think about an Executive MBA program that would be the best fit for me, I knew I wanted an opportunity for connections with others.
