Social Impact at Kellogg

curriculum and culture

Shaping leaders for social innovation

The world needs more socially responsible leaders who can see and seize the complex challenges that intersect management and society. Kellogg creates and cultivates those leaders.
At Kellogg, social change is deeply ingrained in our community, guiding what we teach in the classroom and how we conduct ourselves in the world. Through our curriculum and culture, we teach students to understand and appreciate how powerful business can be in our society, economy and environment.
Intellectually rigorous yet real-world relevant, our Social Impact programming is designed to expand students’ awareness about the pivotal role that management plays in society. It aims to inspire business leaders to create positive, significant and sustainable impact in the world.
