She attended Baruch College, and earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 2012. Prior to enrolling at Darden, she worked at Krusen Capital Management as a Business Development Associate.<\/p>\n<p>As a Darden student, Akane actively participated in a number of the global academic programs offered through the school, gaining insight into the global business practices and perspectives of various countries. During her first year she traveled to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/darden-worldwide\/immersion\/brazil\/\">Brazil<\/a> on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/darden-worldwide\/\">Darden Worldwide Course<\/a> (DWC), and in her second year she participated in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/darden-worldwide\/immersion\/india\/\">India<\/a> DWC in January. This past fall, she worked with Mbarara University in Uganda on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/darden-worldwide\/immersion\/uganda\/\">Global Consulting Project<\/a> (GCP).\u00a0 Furthermore, in her role as an Ambassador for the Darden Center for Global Initiatives (CGI), she assisted in developing one of the newest global immersion courses to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/darden-worldwide\/immersion\/japan\/\">Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Akane already had strong ties to Darden, several alumni served as sources of inspiration for her as she pursued business school options. As she sought out schools that had a close-knit community where she could get to know her peers as well as an educational experience with top faculty and programs, it became evident that Darden would be perfect for her.<\/p>\n<p>During her time at Darden, Akane has been involved in many student organizations and initiatives including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/community\/student-clubs\/retail-luxury-goods\/\">Retail &amp; Luxury Goods Club<\/a>, where she served as the Vice-President for Conference and Alumni relations, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darden.virginia.edu\/mba\/community\/student-clubs\/net-impact\/\">Net Impact<\/a> as the Vice-President for Community Impact and Education. Furthermore, she worked with the Career Development Center (CDC), second year students, and alumni to\u00a0design the marketing job trek to New York. Akane also served as a CGI Ambassador during her second year\u00a0and recently worked with Professor Yael Grushka-Cockayne and the CGI team to develop the Japan DWC, one of the newest DWC offerings.<\/p>\n<p>In her role as CGI Ambassador, Akane advertised many of these programs during First Coffee,\u00a0 as well as information sessions and events like Darden\u2019s International Food Festival.\u00a0 \u201cI started as an Ambassador at the end of my first year. I\u2019m originally from Japan and I wanted to help create more opportunities for students to be exposed to international culture. The fact that I went to Brazil in my first year at Darden\u00a0and was able to have that experience and simultaneously share\u00a0it with my classmates was amazing. \u00a0I really wanted to bring that excitement to students who have yet to explore different cultures,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Through being a CGI Ambassador, Akane further connected with her peers and built relationships with various members of the Darden community. \u201cPeople would personally reach out to me and ask questions. Getting to know the school\u2019s perspectives and the CGI team &#8212; it\u2019s an aspect that students don\u2019t always get to see. Darden students see the finished product but it was important for me to see the effort and work that happens behind the scenes,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n<p>Her participation in the Brazil and India DWCs stemmed from a desire to learn more about those countries, engage in those cultures, and continue developing bonds with her classmates. \u201cI knew that I wouldn\u2019t be able to go by myself and experience these countries. Darden\u00a0would offer me without the whole package. I have always been curious about developing countries and I wanted to be able to see the different energies that exist there. In Brazil, I formed meaningful friendships and had a learning experience that was really hands-on. In India, I saw how Indian companies function in comparison to U.S. companies and within a completely different cultural context than the U.S.,\u201d she reflected.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Brazil and India, Akane participated in a global consulting project in Uganda working with Mbarara University Science and Technology (MUST). Her past global experiences at Darden influenced her decision to pursue this GCP, during which she learned important aspects of Ugandan culture and business.\u00a0 \u201cGlobal consulting projects are more hands-on with a select group of people. It really seemed like something that was a one-of-a-kind experience. In Uganda, the people are entrepreneurial, open-minded, and curious. When you\u2019re in a team that has completely different strengths and weaknesses, you can make a great final product. You develop a strong bond after working through these differences and you come out strong. This trip also made me appreciate the simple things a lot more,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Akane credits Darden\u2019s global offerings as key to helping her learn and understand different perspectives and viewpoints. \u201cIt gives you a broader perspective. People should take advantage of what Darden is offering and a big part of these programs is visiting the companies &#8212; you wouldn\u2019t have those kinds of opportunities outside of the program.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Akane looks forward to learning more about her strengths, seeing the Japan course come together, and graduation. \u201cMy plan is to look more at what I want to do in the future and focus on the industries that I\u2019m interested in\u2014technology and marketing.\u00a0 I want to work on products that are meaningful. I enjoyed going\u00a0back to Japan to see the DWC before graduating &#8212; a lot of the companies involved are those that I wanted to personally see &#8212; and I couldn&#8217;t wait to see my family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1610\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1610\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1024x727.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1024x727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5.jpg 1279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Akane, bottom left, with peers on the DWC to Brazil focused on managing large projects.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1611\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1611\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Company visit during the India DWC this past January.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1612\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1612\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2017\/05\/Picture-5-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Akane, far right, with her GCP teammates and clients in Uganda for their onsite visit this spring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Anelle Mensah Akane Fukuda is\u00a0a recent Darden graduate (as of this last weekend!)\u00a0from Tokyo, Japan.
