Join the Private Capital Club for an Alumni Panel on Friday, April 25th (Lunch Provided!)
Breaking into Private Equity takes more than just being a “numbers person.” Join the Private Capital Club for a candid panel with Fuqua alumni who’ve built careers across the private capital landscape—from growth equity and investment banking to leading PE-backed companies.
You’ll hear real stories about how they navigated recruiting, made pivotal career decisions, and transitioned from the Fuqua classroom to dynamic roles across the industry. Whether you’re deep in the recruiting process or just starting to explore, this is a great opportunity to learn from alumni who’ve sat on every side of the table—and are eager to share what they’ve learned.
Bring your curiosity (and your appetite).
