Student stories
Meet some of the students, faculty, staff and alumni that make up our vibrant community.
My experience with Kellogg Leaders is that they’re very balanced people. Both left and right brain, head and heart. In short, someone who’s committed to the success of an enterprise by way of their team. The way I think about it, it’s not about personal accolades but rather collective success — a feeling of we did this, versus I did this.
