Evanston, Illinois – Michael Antis had 4 shots on goal, scoring once, and assisted Steve Kinsick for another to lead team USA to a 3-0 victory over team International on Thursday. Antis was assisted by a gloriously long pass from Northwestern’s own Timothy Allen. Sam Morton, the converted college football kicker, scored the other goal… Continue reading
It’s not just the Wall that’s Great: GIM China 2012
First and foremost, many apologies for the horrific pun above. I couldn’t resist. One of the milestones of many a Kellogg student experience is the Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) trip over spring break. This year, groups of 25-35 Kellogg students ventured to China, Southeast Asia, South America, South Africa, and India, among others. I… Continue reading
01.
THE GROUNDS of the Kellogg campus is indistinguishable from the set of one of those midday BBC Channel films featuring the emotionally subdued enduring love of an aged-couple – aptly titled “Geriatric Gestures of Endearment”. Surrounded by the crashing waters of Lake Michigan, complemented by twenty-eight different varieties of spruce, and accented with Greco-Roman sculptures… Continue reading
Partners’ Weekend: Always a Treat
So I’m a typical EMBA student – thirty something, a husband with a demanding career, three young children, a super career and a life! One of the reasons that the Kellogg Executive MBA program was top of my list when I considered going back to school was the amazing support network that I heard about… Continue reading
Excelling
One morning this month I woke up and was at Jacobs at 9 a.m. And stayed until after 4 p.m. On a Sunday. Voluntarily. Not for Brew n’ Q’s Annual Crawfish Boil, but instead for…drumroll…a Financial Modeling Class. Throughout my first year at Kellogg, I have been continuously impressed and occasionally intimidated by the Excel skills… Continue reading
Doing Good and Feeling Good: Community Service @ Kellogg
This past month marked a big month for Kellogg Volunteers (KVOL). As the school year winds down, and students are getting ready to leave Evanston, the Kellogg student body still took the time out of their busy schedules to focus on community service. First, KVOL presented Kellogg’s 2nd Annual “Dress Your Best” Clothing Drive &… Continue reading
Around the World in 20 Days
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
Learning to Lead Leaders
As I near the last few weeks of my 1st year, I have been thinking about the many experiences that I have had while here at Kellogg. Like many students, I went on KWEST, participated in Complete Immersion in Management (CIM), learned to snowboard during Ski Trip and met with a variety of companies and alums during… Continue reading
A Heaping Bowl of Special K
Did you think that your high school production of “The Music Man” would be the last time you’d be on stage? Think again! Special K! – a full-length musical production – is the highlight of spring quarter for much of the Kellogg population. It involves nearly 100 students, including the 24 member live show cast,… Continue reading
There’s this place called Chicago…
[slideshow] When I was trying to find an apartment before my first quarter at Kellogg began, there was no question about where I was going to be living. Evanston. Our building? Evanston. Most of the student body? Evanston. Wednesday morning softball games between sections? Evanston. Honestly, I didn’t know when (or if) I was going… 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
Kelloggeddon!…the end of LIFO as we know it
[slideshow] This past week was the 33rd edition of Special K!, a production written, directed and performed by current Kellogg students. Each year Special K Revue has presented a different but always satirical view of life at Kellogg School of Management through the unique lens of that year’s Production Board. The show has grown in… Continue reading
