Daytime MBA Student Xiaobao Li

"Now I feel more comfortable about taking initiatives. The transformation experience for me mostly came from seeing other student leaders as examples for taking initiatives.

Why I Chose Fuqua

I think the people and the culture Fuqua people represent is the biggest reason for me to choose Fuqua. Blue Devil Weekend was an unforgettable experience for me where I enjoyed every single conversation I had with Fuqua people. I made lifetime friends during that weekend and saw a great culture fit for me where people go above and beyond to support others.

Another big reason for me to choose Fuqua is the HSM program which is tremendously helpful for me to pivot into the biotech industry. The program design provides comprehensive views across different health care related industries and the alumni resources are incredible to help understand the industry.
