Fuqua's goal is to provide alumni career services that empower you to define, attain, and manage your career goals. We hope to supplement your career decision-making and development efforts by offering resources, including recommendations for external fee-based career counselors, to help you pursue your career objectives and meet the demands of a diverse, global marketplace.
Our alumni career services are directed and managed by Ryan Smith, Program Director for Executive MBA & Alumni Career Services. Ryan is supported by a network of career professionals both at Fuqua and at other external organizations. If you need career support, please e-mail the Duke MBA Career Management Center at alumni-careers@fuqua.duke.edu .

As we plan in-person programming, our greatest constraint is finding appropriate classroom or meeting space that is affordable and accessible. Please consider volunteering your company, local university, or community space for Fuqua alumni programming. If you have space to share, please e-mail Katie Thomasson, Associate Director of Alumni Relations, at katie.thomasson@duke.edu .
