At Kellogg, we share an unshakable commitment to a diverse and inclusive community. It's a commitment born out of our longstanding belief in the transformative power of a strong and collaborative organizational culture. It recognizes that leveraging diverse perspectives enriches learning, inspires innovation and develops strong leaders.

For us, diversity encompasses many dimensions – from personal characteristics to cultural traditions, political world views, academic training, life experiences and other aspects that shape human identity. At the core, all diversity matters. Differences affect how we think, react, create, problem solve and relate to others as people. Differences inform, enrich and empower humankind's collective capacity to create a better world – materially, aesthetically and philosophically. We welcome the vibrant array of cultures, voices and unique perspectives that together make Kellogg a dynamic place to learn, teach and thrive.

We are committed to celebrating our diversity and creating an environment that welcomes all. At Kellogg, diversity and inclusion means:

• We value and respect one another and foster a workplace that allows everyone to bring their whole self to Kellogg.
• As individuals and as an organization, we integrate focused diversity and inclusion practices into our business processes.
• We achieve better results by building teams that embrace diversity and support the expression of differing points of view.
• We create a flexible work environment through leaders modeling flexibility, prioritizing work, facilitating teamwork and managing to outcomes.

Leveraging our Differences

Our faculty, students and administrators find boundless opportunities to interact with peers from around the world and every imaginable background. They learn from each other in classrooms and seminars, through meetings, club activities, conferences and on global study trips. They forge lifelong bonds with others who share their intellectual curiosity and their desire to make a meaningful difference.

"A commitment to diversity and inclusion comes naturally to Kellogg. Its culture is inherently collaborative - and its community comprises students, faculty and staff who come from exceptionally diverse backgrounds, geographies, industries and areas of expertise. Together, this creates a rich, innovative, dynamic environment."
