Did you know…

• There are more than 7,500 Kellogg alumni living and working in over 100 countries outside the United States, with the largest concentrations in Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico and the UK. 

• Each year, 125 Kellogg students spend a quarter studying overseas at one of our 35 Exchange Program partner schools. 

• Kellogg is the only business school that can claim to have a global network of five world-class Executive MBA programs.

The mission of the new Global Programs team is to ensure Kellogg’s place on the short list of elite global business schools. We aim to enhance the school’s visibility and reputation around the world by:

• Providing students with world class global study opportunities (through programs like Exchange, Global Initiatives in Management and KWEST)

• Strengthening and promoting the Kellogg Global Executive MBA Network with programs in Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Frankfurt, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong

• Expanding Kellogg’s footprint in emerging markets, such as China and Brazil, through new executive education programs and corporate conferences

With a small but growing team, Global Programs works closely with many departments across the school to fulfill our mission. Marketing and Communications helps us communicate with international stakeholders and build awareness in key global markets. Advancement is busy re-energizing our global alumni clubs and councils so they can serve as effective brand ambassadors. The Executive MBA Team is gearing up for Live-In Week in August, when students from across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East will come to campus to take part in a series of global elective courses. Executive Education will be hosting summer programs for our key international partner schools, including Peking University in Beijing and Fundação Dom Cabral outside of São Paulo. And Admissions is getting ready to embark on another round of international information sessions to attract the best students from around the world.

Clearly, ensuring Kellogg’s strong reputation around the world is a team effort. Each of us plays an important role, whether through interacting with students from another country, working with companies that do business overseas, or supporting faculty research and teaching that enhance our global reputation. We encourage you to share your ideas for new international opportunities here at Kellogg.

Best,

Paul Christensen
Associate Dean of Global Programs
