West Africa

The Kellogg Alumni Club of West Africa has two main goals for 2003. One of those goals is mobilizing alumni from the region and encouraging prospective students to visit the Kellogg School. So far we have had a good response rate and expect to reach about 80 percent of our alumni by the end of the year. Last quarter, three students traveled from Africa (Cote D'Ivoire, Cameroon and Senegal) to Evanston to learn more about Kellogg.

The club's other goal is informing people from the business and the political world about Kellogg. The Kellogg West African alumni club is carrying out projects related to entrepreneurship and business in order to reinforce the image of Kellogg as a premier business school in the world.

Upcoming events: Thanks to KABA (Kellogg Africa Business Association), we are expecting Dean Jain's visit to Nigeria, and probably, South Africa. We plan to hold a business plan competition, as well as a meeting with prospective students during that event.

Please, don't forget to visit our club's Web site, or contact Laure Djoukam (edjoukam2002@kellogg.northwestern.edu) for more information.
