Fireside Chat in Washington, DC: From MBA Candidate to Career Candidate

Join us for a special fireside chat featuring Shari Hubert, Associate Dean of Admissions at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, and Teri De Leon, Executive Director of Career Management. Shari and Teri will share perspectives from opposite ends of the MBA journey as they explore the topic, From MBA Candidate to Career Candidate: What Makes Someone Stand Out?

Together, they’ll discuss the importance of authenticity, self-awareness, curiosity, and genuine human connection—from the admissions process through the pursuit of a meaningful career. In an age increasingly shaped by AI and technology, the ability to engage thoughtfully and build relationships remains more important than ever.

The conversation will be followed by an open networking reception featuring distinguished alumni of Fuqua. Refreshments will be provided.
