Campout:

This has historically been a great event for Duke MBA students and LASA wants to remain as an important player during the event. Each year graduate students campout for a weekend with the purpose of obtaining basketball tickets for the season. LASA organizes and supports the teams who want to participate and win season game tickets. We provide barbecues and of course the music for the well recognized LASA party. Click here for pictures

Family Trips:

At LASA we believe that integration among students and their families is a great part of the MBA experience. For that reason we organize weekend trips to parks, beaches, lakes or interesting cities in the area. This experience allows the club members to get to know each other better while having fun. We look forward to having you there! Click here for pictures

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."

"Joining Fuqua has been an incredible experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Fuqua has prepared me for future challenges in the fast paced and competitive world we live in. Having the opportunity to study with students from different countries and cultural backgrounds has given me the opportunity to acquire a global perspective, being an international student myself. Fuqua’s curriculum is focused on teamwork and keeping its students updated with the latest management frameworks. I have met extraordinary people with whom I have developed excellent professional and personal relationships."
