Corporate Relations

The main goal of LASA's Corporate Relations cabinet is to build long term partnerships with corporations interested in recruiting from among one of the most qualified Latin American pool of MBA candidates in US.

Testimonials:

"When I look back and think about why I decided to go to Duke, the thing that stands out in my mind is the people that I met during my visit in January 2004. I was really impressed with how the people at Duke could make someone from the outside feel completely at home in a few short days. After my graduation in 2006, I can say with certainty that the people not only made my experience at the school great, but the culture they create, renovate, inspire and live by has made a profound impact in my life overall. The Duke culture allowed me to explore different career paths, deepen my self-understanding, experience unforgettable moments with my fellow classmates, push my limits in class, thrive under a stressful job search process and embrace the community as if I had been born there. The Duke culture makes me go above and beyond still today in helping Duke find the best and brightest students who will nurture the Team Fuqua ideal in the future."

"This year at Fuqua has been amazing. I have been able to meet excellent people both in professional and personal sides. Fuqua is a really international school which gives you the opportunity to meet people from different countries and to understand how businesses and life are in other parts of the world.  I chose Fuqua because of its great team work environment and strong reputation in the US. I have been able to experience Team Fuqua from the very beginning of the MBA both inside and outside the classroom. Duke and Fuqua offers you thousands of activities to do outside classes and it just depends on you if you take advantage of them or not. In terms of the city, my wife and I are very happy to live in Durham since it offers you a quality of life that is difficult to find in other cities in US. I joined the LASA and Private Equity Club cabinets last year and now I’m in charge of the Latin American Business Conference 2010. So far this has been a great experience and I have no doubt that these will be some of the best years of my life."
