About 70 students/partners participated in Fuqua’s first annual Gandhi Day on Wednesday, October 3. Gandhi Day is a day of service where students go out into the community to give back for a few hours to really “Be the Change.” Bloggers Diana Yarmovich and Dipesh Shah both participated in the day.

Like many former Peace Corps volunteers, I hope to save the world someday. I don’t have any brilliant, poverty-ending business ideas at this point (mosquito net that doubles as a fishing net? or generator that runs on sand?), but I’d like to support those who do.

Last week, I had the opportunity to sit in on an insightful leadership talk with Shelly Lazarus – Chairman Emeritus of the international advertising, marketing and public relations agency Ogilvy & Mather. It was the first event in Fuqua’s Distinguished Speaker Series for the academic year, and Geneen Auditorium was packed with students, faculty, and staff. [...]

For me, I came back to school to enter the consulting world. Realizing that my background includes no consulting experience, I felt [...]
During the holiday season, in the spirit of giving thanks and demonstrating the ever-present commitment to Team Fuqua, students and faculty took a moment to give gratitude and appreciation for the things — big and small — in their lives and at school for which they are truly thankful. – Carrie Bloch, Second-Year & Communications [...]
I felt pretty sure that I knew everything there was to know about The Fuqua School of Business. Last year, as a master’s student at Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy, I applied to Fuqua in order to be a joint MPP-MBA student, and already was friends with a number of Fuquans. So when I [...]
Needless to say, consulting is definitely a hot topic at business school! And I wanted to investigate the world of consulting for myself, but with a hands-on experience outside of an internship. Fortunately for me, this is a unique business school opportunity, and Fuqua has several options to choose from. This past spring, I participated in the Global Consulting Practicum in [...]
