On a recent cross-country flight, I couldn’t help ask myself whether the decision I made to take my Winter electives at the Kellogg Miami campus was worth the investment. Miami, after all, was on the other side of the nation and traveling from San Diego I knew I was in for 7 hours of airplane… Continue reading
Professors Should Wear Cowbells
In my prior life, I attended graduate school for Classics at Tufts and spent summers as an archaeologist at the Agora in Athens, Greece. It never failed that you would be digging one hot Athenian day, talking with your trench-mate about your shenanigans the night before, and up would walk the dig director. The end… Continue reading

What’s in a Weekend?
Well, it’s officially March, and finals are not just around the corner but firmly on this side of the corner, and my second quarter at Kellogg is more or less complete. Looking back over my past couple of weekends, it’s not surprising that we’re all shocked that the quarter went by in the blink of… Continue reading
Summer internship recruitment and career treks
Ever wondered what lies in the heart of summer internship recruitment? I give my two cents here. From my personal experience of internship recruitment, there are few things that are absolutely important in order to succeed. One, introspect, research and nail down the broad functional and industrial areas where one wants to work in. Two,… Continue reading
City Living: Taking the El
Although many pre-Kellogg Chicagoans pulled up stakes and moved 7 miles up the road to Evanston at the beginning of the school year, I was one of the few who did not make the Great Migration in August 2011. Continuing to live in the city while attending Kellogg full-time has been a great decision for… Continue reading
Good news for our social venture
It’s a good day today. This afternoon I learned that my team was selected for the semi-finals for the KIN Global Prize. An opportunity to win $100k for our new social venture! Three of my friends and I want to start a non-profit in India. It will be a micro-insurance business that helps poor farmers… Continue reading
Entrepreneurship @ Kellogg
Second year has been a lot more relaxing than my first year, predominately because I am in the groove of things and know how to manage my time better. I also have more time to explore subjects that I don’t have any experiences in but are interested to know more about. Since I finished all… Continue reading
It’s almost March?
As we head into our final weeks of winter quarter, it is hard to believe that in a few days, it will already be March. The first two quarters at Kellogg have flown by, and for first years, corporate presentations, career management seminars and constant conversations about what new career to pursue dominated our schedules….

2012 Kellogg Marketing Conference was a success!
Snow and early mornings in business casual couldn’t keep hundreds of students, faculty, alumni, corporate representatives, and speakers from attending the Kellogg Marketing Conference. The two-day conference started on Kellogg’s downtown campus on Jan. 20 with events for alumni and corporate representatives and continued with a larger-scale event chocked full of panels, keynotes, and diverse… Continue reading

Making the most out of two years
It is hard to imagine that more than one year ago, I was finalizing my Kellogg application for the Round 1 deadline. So much has happened since then – I quit my job, moved out of my tiny NYC studio, spent a month traveling throughout Europe, made 24 amazing new friends on KWEST, and am… Continue reading
