Denver Club Leadership:
Welcome to the Fuqua Alumni Club of Denver! The Denver Fuqua Club offers a variety of events for alumni, friends, and families. First, we host several small informal gatherings throughout the year which are just for Fuquans. These might include wine and cheese receptions, Duke basketball watching, or restaurant meetings. Anyone is welcome to host an event.
Second, we collaborate with the Denver Business Series (www.dbseries.com) and alumni from other top MBA programs to offer much larger programs, approximately once every other month, designed to bring you a variety of local and national experts who speak on a wide range of business topics, professional development and social networking opportunties, and access to occasional programming offered by other schools.
Please contact the club leadership if you would like to become more involved.
