Title:
Fuqua School of Business Brochure, ca. 1980s
Description:
This brochure promoting the Duke Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program details specific reasons Duke students chose to pursue an MBA at the Fuqua School of Business. Originally chartered as the Graduate School of Business in 1969, the school was renamed the Fuqua School of Business with a financial gift from J. B. Fuqua in 1980. Fuqua’s motivation for donating such a large gift to the university stemmed from the fact that as a boy he borrowed books from the Duke Libraries through a borrow-by-mail program that the university participated in. It was through these books that Fuqua gleaned much of his education. Fuqua never attended college, but through his determination and intelligence he went on to build Fuqua Industries, a Fortune 500 company.
