Recruiting events offer you an opportunity to show students how they can make an impact. Begin to build one-to-one relationships through our diverse mix of recruiting events and networking opportunities.

Company Presentations

Company presentations offer an opportunity to showcase the opportunities and career paths available to MBA students at your company. Each company is allocated an hour for a planned presentation and networking.

At any given time, multiple presentations can take place. The Employer Relations Team strives to prevent competing companies (same industry/function) from presenting at the same time.

Logistics of company presentations:
  • Presentations, once scheduled, are advertised on the Kellogg Calendar as well as the Career Management System.
  • Lunch presentations are scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays at 12:15 p.m.
  • Evening presentations are scheduled, Mondays through Thursdays at 5:45 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
    • 5:45 p.m. presentations will not be held on the evenings when Kellogg Networking Nights occur
  • When requesting presentation dates, please consider your preferred interview dates and the corresponding student application deadlines below.
  • Due to a late academic start date, we strongly encourage companies to consider attending a 2nd year Kellogg Networking Night in lieu of a formal company presentation.
    • Companies who had less than a certain number of students attend their 2nd year presentation last fall will only be booked for a corporate presentation if space permits.

Coffee Chats

Coffee chats are individual or small group meetings between students and company reps. Students rate this as a very popular way to interact with companies and learn about the organization and employment opportunities. Important coffee chat details include:
  • Companies are able to see the list of registered students through the CMS.
  • The system will facilitate open signups only. If you plan to invite specific candidates, please work with clubs to publicize your opportunity, and do not submit a request through the CMS. 
  • If you plan to hold coffee chats on multiple days, or for functions you'd like to keep separate, please submit a separate request for each day and/or function.
  • Student Process:
    • Sign-ups will start at 8:00 a.m. Central time on Mondays and Thursdays.
    • Students will have until 7:00 a.m. one business day before the coffee chats to cancel their slot or swap times with another student.
