The world needs leaders who can meet the challenge of growth

WELCOME
TO KELLOGG
SPEND TIME WITH US AND YOULL SOON UNDERSTAND
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KELLOGG LEADER.
At the highest levels, being a Kellogg leader means being a leader who will
question conventional thinking and challenge the status quo. It means making
every team and every organization you touch better because you are there.
In very concrete terms, it means learning the architecture of collaboration
and how to catalyze resources to lead positive change in organizations,
communities and the world. It means understanding the demand side of
markets to identify consumer wants and human needs and developing better
products, services and solutions to meet them.
Being a Kellogg leader requires mastering the mindset and mechanisms of
innovation, generating bold new ideas and making them happen. It also
means developing a broader understanding of the public and private
interface and knowing how to sustain organizations in a capitalistic economy
firmly grounded in ethics and law.
This is what Kellogg believes. This is what we teach. This is what we practice,
as we pioneer the evolution of management education to address the
ever-growing, complex challenges of the global marketplace.
As an alumna and dean, I invite those who share our passion and purpose to
join our community.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
BALANCED &
DYNAMIC SKILL SET
The Kellogg curriculum starts
with a RIGOROUS GROUNDING
IN GENERAL MANAGEMENT.
Leaders today depend on knowledge across disciplines and functions to effectively solve
problems. When you understand how each part of an organization contributes to the
success of the whole, you approach problems differently. You ask better questions and
work more effectively.
Beyond the strong core curriculum, you can choose from more than 200 electives.
That gives you the flexibility to design an academic experience perfectly aligned with
your goals or to explore a wide array of options. No matter what academic challenge you
choose, youll be immersed in a learning environment that will challenge you to grow.
The one-day, student-run conference included thoughtprovoking sessions and interactive engagement opportunities
that covered four distinct programming tracks, each one
examining the factors that can lead to long-term growth.

THE WAY BUSINESS
GETS DONE
The most effective learning
experiences reflect real
business practice. Thats why
KELLOGG PIONEERED THE
TEAM-BASED MODEL.
Its also why our faculty members match their teaching methods to the subject matter.
For example, case studies based on their cutting-edge research will refine your problemsolving skills. Group projects will teach you how to build effective teams and motivate
others. Experiential learning will encourage intelligent risk-taking and let you put new
knowledge to practical use immediately.
INNOVATION IN
REAL TIME
Tyler Wanke was in medical school when
he and two surgeons came up with
an idea to revolutionize breast cancer
treatment. Wanke came to Kelloggs
MMM program to bring the idea to life.
He took a leave of absence from
medical school and quickly built a
team from across the Northwestern
community. Before long, Innoblative
was created with Wanke as CEO
and co-founder. The medical device
company is developing a series
of medical devices that use radiofrequency waves to treat surgical
sites like the ones left after resecting
tumors. While Wanke was at Kellogg,
Innoblative won or placed in more than
11 business plan competitions.

Kelloggs International Business Strategy
Lab students developed a growth
strategy to produce international-grade
stevia, a plant grown by farmers in
Ecuador. Students traveled to Quito,
Ecuador, and worked with industry
experts, including several Kellogg
alumni. Their strategy was adopted,
and with the help of a multinational
companys partnership, 10,000 new jobs
were created in the region.

SHARPENING A
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
When Carlos Castillo decided to take
a year off from consulting at Deloitte
to enroll in Kelloggs One-Year MBA
program, one thing he craved was
global, hands-on learning opportunities.
One of those opportunities came in
Risk Lab, an experiential learning course
that allows students to examine the
attractiveness of risk in a real-world
investment decision. Castillo and his
classmates worked with entrepreneurs in
Cuba to evaluate where to invest within
the country to maximize the likelihood
of success.

EMPOWERING GROWTH
OUT OF POVERTY
Immense hunger drives Andrew Youn. But it isnt his.
Its the hunger of farm families in Sub-Saharan Africa,
where one in 10 children dies of hunger before the
age of 5. Many farmers fail to coax their land to yield
enough crops to sustain themselves not for want of
trying but due to lack of resources.
At the start of his second year at Kellogg, Youn
devised a business solution for this grave social
problem: help farmers grow their way out of poverty.
In March 2006, he founded One Acre Fund, a nonprofit
social enterprise that provides smallholder farmers
with seed, fertilizer, training and market facilitation.
Today, One Acre Fund serves more than 400,000
farmers in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania and
an additional 500,000 farmers through government
partnerships. It employs more than 4,000 full-time
staff members.

FLYING IN A
NEW DIRECTION
As an F-18 pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps,
Rashaad Jamal used to fly planes more
than 600 miles per hour. As exhilarating as it was, he wasnt contributing
to the world in the way he wanted. He
decided a career in consulting would
be more satisfying, and he shaped his
Kellogg experience to prepare him to
fulfill that goal. His diligence led to an
internship with McKinsey & Company,
and eventually, a full-time job there as a
management consultant.
