Kellogg’s Diversity Experience

Advancing diversity, equity and inclusion does not occur in silos or within a single event or course. It is practiced in every corner of the Kellogg experience and is part of our shared commitment to DEI and responsibility to our community. It is incumbent upon all of us — students, faculty, staff and alumni — to foster an environment that is equitable, diverse, and where our fellow community members can bring their full identities to the Kellogg experience.
