Kellogg faculty members Craig Garthwaite and Lauren Rivera were recently recognized on “The World’s Best 40 Under 40 Business School Professors” list by Poets & Quants. Garthwaite is an assistant professor of strategy at Kellogg, while Rivera is an associate professor of management and operations.
To make it on the list, Poets & Quants writes that the professors need to possess an excellence in research, combined with world-class teaching prowess.
Last week, students, faculty and staff celebrated the global diversity found at Kellogg with “MOSAIC 2015: A Thousand Voices. A Million Stories.” The week-long celebration featured more than 20 different events, from speaker events on topics ranging from reviewing global advertising to cultivating diversity in the workplace, to more hands-on opportunities where students got to learn sushi rolling and Asian calligraphy.
The week ended with a Bollywood Bash, which took audience members on a musical journey through India.
Take a look back at more pictures from the week below:
Jeff Housenbold, president and CEO of Shutterfly, spoke to students at Kellogg on April 14 as part of the school’s Brave Leader Series. Housenbold, who has helped the custom image publishing service grow from $50 million in sales in 2005 to $1.1 billion this year, discussed his thoughts about driving culture, having a vision and proving the naysayers wrong.
Montoya Trice, a current MMM student, created the sketch notes above in response to Housenbold’s talk.
“What stood out to me was his focus and dedication to the “Chief Memory Officer,” his core customer at Shutterfly,” Trice said. “I was also surprised to find out that Mr. Housenbold came from such humble beginnings. His words were inspirational and informational.”
Twelve days to experience all that is Shanghai, Beijing, and Seoul. Transcontinental flights, a speed train from Shanghai to Beijing, a handful of business meetings and a collection of in-country assignments were all part of the plan for 36 Kellogg students when we departed from Chicago the morning of March 16.
The trip to China and South Korea was a central component of our Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) class, and for most of us, it was our first trip to Asia. The trip itself was sandwiched between two segments of five classes in which Professor Damien Ma, Sheila Duran, executive director of Kellogg’s Public/Private Initiative, and a series of distinguished speakers equipped us with the necessary knowledge to make the most of our trip.
What we did not anticipate were the unique interactions each of us would have throughout the nearly two weeks abroad, not only with the people living in the countries themselves, but also within our group of Kellogg students.

Interviewing, resume preparation, review of job listings – these are the topics many people think of as they engage in the job search process. But what about research? In an academic setting, the definition of research is established and easier to define. Career research is a whole different story.
MOSAIC is the annual celebration of diversity and inclusion at Kellogg. The week is not just for students, but is an opportunity for the school to come together as a whole to celebrate diversity. The Kellogg Student Association Global Affairs team talked with some of the school’s faculty members to learn what they enjoy most about MOSAIC.
When Andrew Silvernail, CEO of IDEX and No. 4 on Forbes’ 2012 list of the most powerful CEOs 40 and under, thinks of a strong leader, he thinks of a dairy farmer in Maine. “Erleen Clement, my best friend’s mother, taught me some unbelievable life lessons about high expectations, unconditional love and what it really means… Continue reading

Today’s leaders must navigate business issues that cut across geographical boundaries and cultures to drive growth and innovation.
That is why Kellogg recently launched International Growth Lab. The course enables Kellogg students to partner with students from ESADE Business & Law School in Barcelona and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to develop market-based growth strategies for international companies.
Kyle Bell is one of the Kellogg students currently taking the course. He and three of his Kellogg classmates are partnering with three students from ESADE to develop an e-commerce strategy for a multinational company dedicated to developing solutions for sustainable water use.
Kyle took some time to talk about the course and what he hopes to gain from the experience.
It is astonishing what you can be involved with as a Joint Venture at Kellogg. You can participate in as much as you want to in the Kellogg community.
Here is a brief post about my involvement, which I have to say has been very difficult to summarize in so few words.
The International Association for Conflict Management (IACM) awarded Kellogg professor J. Keith Murnighan its 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award.

What is it that drives and motivates you?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to achieve?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we captured all of those emotions and aspirations in a single picture?
