Why I Chose Fuqua

I chose Fuqua for its incredible sense of community. Fuqua has been very intentional about cultivating a unique MBA experience through their strong diversity recruiting efforts. It has resulted in the “Team Fuqua” culture. Team Fuqua is more than just a buzzword, it’s about belonging, support, and acceptance.

 

5 Best Fuqua Activities

  1. Inclusion Week (Daring Dialogues are amazing).
  2. Wine Around the World.
  3. Whitewater Rafting in your second year.
  4. Blue Cup! (Let’s Go Duke!)
  5. Orientation is pretty fantastic.

EDGE Impact Scholar

"Co-chairing Duke’s Energy Conference, overseeing a team of 13 across 5 workstreams, has been my most significant leadership challenge at Fuqua. It taught me delegation, conflict resolution, decision-making impact, strategy, and planning. I’ve grown an incredible amount from this opportunity and despite the hard work, the lessons learnt were invaluable."
