LASA Symposiums


""Before coming to Fuqua I knew that I would be going to one of the best Schools in the US. I remember when I interviewed with several Fuqua alumni they mentioned that I was about to have the best two years of my life. Nothing could be closer to the truth….. There are four things that really impressed me while I was studying here.
1. Team Fuqua. Team Fuqua differentiates Fuqua students from other schools. Even though students are very competitive, Fuqua students always work together and look for ways to improve the Fuqua brand.
2. Strong International Presence. More than forty percent of Fuqua students are internationals. In a globalized business environment it is essential to interact with people from all over the world.
3. Rankings. Fuqua is improving as a school each year and I am proud to be part of this improvement.
4. Living in Durham. The big advantage of living in a city like Durham is that you are able to meet and interact with all your MBA classmates. This creates a strong community within Fuqua. Living in Durham is also less expensive than living in a larger city and as such the quality of life is better.
As I reflect on my time at Fuqua, I can now I can say that I made the right decision.""

"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."
