Steve Misuraca (MBA '09) has served the Fuqua community for nearly 17 years. His MBA experience was likely similar to yours - living in Station Nine, overcommitting, early rejections, pivoting his career path, and questioning what he wanted to do with his life. Since 2009, Steve has worked on staff and has supported over 5,000 students, through roles in Admissions and Student Life. In this episode, Steve reflects on his journey, his values, and his lessons from being a student, leader, husband, and father at Fuqua.
Steve: "What is the purpose of life? To find your gift. But what makes life really meaningful? It's to give it away. If you can find a way to give your gift away to others, it will bring you intense joy and happiness."
