Over the past 3 weeks I’ve traveled almost 25,000 miles and I’ve realized that you can’t “think” internationally unless you “learn” internationally. The global elective program I attended at our partner school WHU in Vallendar, Germany this past month brought me closer to European Economics, Luxury Brand Management, and last but not least my fellow… Continue reading

Kellogg Hosts Lobsterpreneur – Yummy!
I remember precisely when my love affair with lobster began. I was in grad school (the first time around) up in Boston…. It was the spring of my second year, close to graduation. In that euphoria that accompanies graduation time employment, we also adopted a bit of a splurge mentality – knowing that “real” jobs… Continue reading

My Weekend in Miami – A Truly Global Experience
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.

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.
