Student Leaders
Key Dates for Students Interested in GIM Leadership | Application Process
Student leadership is a key component of the Kellogg GIM experience. Working with the support of their GIM Advisor, student leaders shape the in-country experience for all GIM participants. Each GIM class provides four key student leadership positions:
- Field Study
- Network with current students, alumni, and other business contacts to find promising hosts for plenary sessions
- Arrange five to eight all-class, in-country meetings with multi-national corporations, industry leaders, government officials, etc.
- Logistics
- Work with travel provider on in-country arrangements
- Determine cultural outings, group dinners, optional events, and overall schedule structure in-country
- Marketing
- Promote GIM experience within the Kellogg community
- Document GIM experience, including photographs, videos, and Merger article
- Design class t-shirts
- Arrange alumni/new admit reception in-country
- Treasurer
- Manage GIM class finances, including receipts and payments
- Assist Global Programs office with obtaining Financial Aid for all interested GIM participants
These leadership roles can involve significant amounts of time (especially as the in-country experience draws closer), including regular, mandatory meetings with GIM Advisors and the Global Programs office. We therefore recommend students consider their fall and winter quarter schedules before committing to a GIM leadership position. However, the majority of leaders will also have committees comprised of classmates who will help them complete their deliverables.
Leaders are automatically enrolled in their GIM classes, and do not spend bid points in order to participate in the program.
