Kellogg Keeps You Thinking About All Three
I thought Kellogg would prepare me for the manager’s chair, teaching me how to march up and down income statements and make the most of an alphabet soup of marketing frameworks. Those skills in hand, I’d spend my career safely squatting in the halls of corporate America. I thought Kellogg would teach me how to… Continue reading
Combining Community Service, Experiential Learning, and Passion for Music at Kellogg
When I applied to Kellogg, I distinctly remember reading about the Kellogg Board Fellows program and being intrigued by the idea of serving on a non-profit board during my time as a business school student. Fast forward two years and here I am, wrapping up my final project as a board member for the Evanston… Continue reading
This is It
No, it’s not the movie about Michael Jackson. I can’t believe this is my last quarter here at Kellogg. These two years flew by in a blink of an eye. It is true when they say time flies when you are having a good time. Graduation is in 2 months! This is definitely a bittersweet… Continue reading
The Powerful Kellogg Backpack
Who knew a backpack could start so many conversations? From the first day I started researching MBA programs, I was drawn to Kellogg for the networking. I felt Kellogg provided the best opportunity to meet diverse leaders from around the world through its heavy emphasis on teamwork. So far, the program has exceeded my expectations… Continue reading
24 x 7 = 168
I often sit back and wonder, “how did I accomplish everything I needed to in a week?” One of my Kellogg professors, Harry Kraemer, introduced a time management concept that I often reflect on. This concept epitomizes how I manage my time on an ongoing basis and I often think about my upcoming week as… Continue reading
Spring Break in SE Asia
Every business school offers unique opportunities to travel to and experience different parts of the world. At Kellogg, Global Initiatives in Management, or GIM, classes are one of the most popular ways to satisfy the school’s Global Elective Requirement. I chose GIM SE Asia because I had never been to any of the four cities… Continue reading
Global Health at Kellogg
I didn’t have any prior exposure to global health, but the more I learned about it, the more excited I became at the prospects of exploring it. And I got to do exactly that during the winter quarter through the Global Health Initiative’s GIM (Global Initiatives in Management) course. In addition to conducting field research… Continue reading
Evanston Through The Viewfinder
It’s been a little more than 9 months for me here at Evanston, and I’m already in my final quarter. Yes, such is the pace of the Kellogg 1Y MBA program and I confirm that the Roadrunner (section name of the 1 Year Class) unofficial tagline – “Twice the fun, done in 1” has stood… Continue reading
Spring Quarter at Kellogg
Last year in my Finance class with Professor Kondo we spent an entire week discussing the efficient frontier. And it wasn’t the first time it came up. In our finance classes, we talk about it a lot. How we can optimize our investments and how we can balance risk and return. Well, the same theory also holds… Continue reading
Becoming a Family
Nietzsche said, “A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.” As you will soon witness, I am the furthest thing from a good writer, but I will try hard to channel the spirit of my fellow EMBA friends from the 2013 EMP-90 class. This blog will be… Continue reading
Fashion Week – Kellogg Style
“Um, excuse me….Professor Mazzeo? Could I ask you a bit of a strange question? Who makes your pants????” Yes, this is the very same Professor who was the lucky recipient of the cowbell. With Fashion Weeks wrapping up in the major cities of the world and having just received the Vogue Spring edition in the mail… Continue reading
