Join the Partners Club on FuquaConnect and Facebook to learn what Section 7 is up to and how to get involved!

Students are not able to sponsor DukeCards for partners. On the DukeCard website, there is an option for sponsored guests, but note this only applies to contractors, visiting scholars, or other individuals who are working directly with a Duke or Fuqua office or department. Duke or Fuqua departments cannot sponsor spouse DukeCards for students. However, even though students cannot sponsor an official DukeCard for their partner, they can support them in purchasing a Duke recreation account (gym membership) or accessing the library. Details are available here:

• Duke Recreation and Gym Facilities: https://recreation.duke.edu/memberships/ (scroll down to Spouses and Families section)
• Library Access: https://library.duke.edu/using/sponsoring-library-access (follow process for spouses and domestic partners)

Fuqua students can create a FuquaConnect account for their partners or spouses by creating a OneLink account.

1. To start the process visit the OneLink portal and click Sponsor a Partner and follow the steps. This will initiate a few emails to your partner with instructions for setting up OneLink, which will create login credentials (OneLink username & password) for your partner that can be used to login to FuquaConnect.
2. Once your partner has access to FuquaConnect, they will be able to join clubs and browse events. However, they should play close attention to the specific event details, as many events on FuquaConnect may not be open to Fuqua partners.

Important Note: NetIDs are not available to Fuqua Partners. According to the Duke Sponsored Accounts Policy, students are not permitted to request sponsored guest accounts. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please reach out to Duke OIT.

The Fuqua Career Management Center is pleased to offer support to partners of incoming and current students in their job search. Partners should be authorized to work in the US. These services include a professional résumé review, a job search workshop, and 1 hour of coaching with an executive coach. The learn more, please send an email to CMC-Info@duke.edu. Be sure to reference the name of the student enrolled in the Daytime MBA program.

There are a number of resources that we recommend to partners looking to volunteer or serve the Durham community:

• Duke Office of Durham & Regional Affairs: Connecting Duke to the local community! One-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities are posted here.
• The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center: Aggregates many one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities across the Triangle.
• Duke University Hospital: There are more than 30 volunteer programs through Duke University Hospital with a wide variety of opportunities from working with cancer patients, to art therapy, to comforting patients, to assisting with educational programs and more!

Partners are not eligible to take or audit classes at Fuqua. However, there are many other educational opportunities available to partners through Durham Tech, Duke Continuing Studies and Duke Continuing Studies: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).

Duke's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) has put together some useful advice for maintaining a committed relationship during graduate or professional studies.
