The Broad Residency in Urban Education, a nationwide leadership development program, immediately places participants in full-time managerial positions in urban school systems while providing professional development and networking opportunities. Broad Residents are not required to have experience in the education industry and receive starting salaries of $80-$90K. Visit www.broadresidency.org for more information.
Education Pioneers is a ten-week summer program where talented graduate students intern with effective schools, districts, and education organizations and train under existing education leaders. Over the course of the summer, Fellows work on challenging projects to gain practical experience and convene as a cohort for five training sessions, two retreats, and regular networking events.
Visit www.educationpioneers.org for more information.
Chicago Fund Fellows spend 10 weeks of the summer between their first and second years of graduate school with senior executives at CPS or The Fund on projects that require the vision, discipline and management skills of an MBA or public policy intern. The Fund and CPS carefully design each project to match the fellow’s skills with the district’s needs.

Tepper School of Business (Carnegie Mellon) Corporate Finance Case Competition
The Tepper School of Business is pleased to announce the 2008 Corporate Finance Case Competition, taking place in Pittsburgh on the weekend of February 23rd, 2008. We are excited to extend an invitation to Northwestern’s Kellogg School and hope that you will be able to join us and peer business schools in this long-standing corporate finance competitive event.
The competition will follow a case-based format and will be judged by a mixture of academic and corporate judges. In addition, the competition will provide an opportunity to meet finance representatives from our corporate sponsors. We are very proud to have this year’s competition sponsored by Alcoa and Dow Chemical. This financial support will provide for hotel accommodations for the competing teams in Pittsburgh, as well as fund reception/networking events during the competition weekend.
We are inviting a team of 5 students from your school to preferably be composed of at least 3 second-year students and no more than 2 first-year students. If you would like to send a team, please respond to this note with confirmation. Details regarding logistics and team information will be handled after receipt of confirmation that your organization can commit to send a team on the weekend of February 23rd, 2008. As mentioned above, lodging will be provided via the generosity of our corporate sponsors, so all that you will need to do is get your team to Pittsburgh. I am seeking RSVP responses by Friday, December 7th.
Best Regards,
Chad

KSA Initiative to promote more socially responsible cases
Are you satisfied with the cases you read in class? Are they timely enough? Relevant to today’s business environment? Globally focused?
The Kellogg administration is committed to ensuring the academic curriculum contains content in line with the school's vision to "develop global leaders in an environment of innovation and collaboration." To address this goal, a resource has been assigned to compile all global and socially responsible cases in the Harvard, Ivey, Kellogg and European Case Clearinghouse databases. Identifying the most appropriate, relevant cases can only be done with student input. That is where you come in. Before using these cases, the administration would like to gather student reviews of these cases regarding their academic relevance. By volunteering, you have the opportunity to enhance the learning environment and reinforce Kellogg’s brand and mission.
Specifically, each volunteer will read 3-5 cases per quarter, will be paid $50/case for their efforts, and will be responsible for:
· Summarizing each case
· Providing a recommendation for whether or not the case should be used
· Recommending potential classes and/or professors the case would best suit
Volunteers will be provided with a template to collect the information above.
If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please fill out the attached survey.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=hFLbOKDkboyvjkzhFyi5FA_3d_3d
2nd years, your participation is especially encouraged this quarter. Cases will be available for you to pick up this Friday, and you will have until December 3rd to review your cases. Another round of cases will be distributed for review during the winter quarter.
Please email ebush2009@kellogg.northwestern.edu or ltan2008@kellogg.northwestern.edu with questions.
Thank you!

Extended deadline for Disruptive Investment Contest
I am writing to inform you that we are extending the deadline for the Disruptive Investment Contest due to the busy time of year and the Thanksgiving holiday. The new deadline will be in two weeks on Monday, December 10. We also have a sample report that can be emailed upon request.
Please send this update to the members of the Kellogg Finance Club and encourage them to participate in this unique opportunity.
To refresh your memory: The contest is being conducted by Disruptive Capital Partners (www.DisruptiveCapitalPartners.com) to find publicly traded companies with the best disruptive investment value. We will award $50,000 in prizes to participants, including a $25,000 grand prize and a $5,000 award to your school club if our grand prizewinner is a member.
Winners will identify and articulate strongest investment opportunities based on the principles of disruptive innovation as described by Clayton Christensen and others working in innovation science. Interested individuals should submit a 5-page paper, explaining why a company is disruptive and why it’s a good investment. We invite submissions from individuals or teams, and multiple entries are welcome.
Submissions can be sent by email, fax, or postmarked by no later than Monday, Dec. 10, 2007. Complete contest guidelines and entry agreement can be found at www.DisruptiveCapitalPartners.com.
