Notable Guest Speakers

Each year, professors in classes that count towards the Entrepreneurship major invite outside speakers. These seasoned professionals illuminate specific teaching points with practical experience. By listening to these speakers, students gain insight into organizational dynamics, personal styles, leadership qualities, and case studies that they would otherwise not have understood. The Entrepreneurship Program is grateful for these speakers’ dedication to the Kellogg School. They receive no stipend, and many have visited campus repeatedly.
