Kellogg Full-Time MBA Program
Philanthropy
Kellogg students are generous with their time and talents.
Some spend their free time volunteering with student-run service clubs. Others have launched their own nonprofit organizations during their Kellogg tenure. Among the success stories are a program that rewards children for reading, a Chicago-based initiative to attract highly qualified young people to teach in inner-city schools, and an organization that helps Africa’s poorest farmers grow themselves out of poverty.
Business With a Heart
BWAH is the umbrella group for Kellogg student charitable work. Each year, dedicated members coordinate food, clothing and toy drives; tutoring; community service days; safe trick-or-treating for local children; and the popular Charity Auction and Ball.The group raises as much as $150,000 per year for charitable organizations.
Kellogg Corps
In 1996, a group of Kellogg students formed Kellogg Corps, a volunteer summer-service program that places teams of recent Kellogg graduates in developing countries, where they use their management skills to support nonprofit agencies. Recent graduates have worked with a women’s center in Ghana to develop and implement fundraising strategies, improved the operating efficiency of a Costa Rican agricultural cooperative’s processing plant, and helped provide education, healthcare and vocational training opportunities to children in Nicaragua.
