Transitioning to student life

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:51:00 GMT

A little about myself, I’m Sam Sung (playing the name game with me was super easy – I wonder why…) and I’m originally from Los Angeles, Calif. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) with a major in political sciences, and went straight into the United States Marine Corps as a brand new 2nd lieutenant.

Becoming a better version of myself

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:50:00 GMT

Here I was, nearing 30, out of school for several years, happily married for four years, working at a nonprofit in San Francisco on programs I passionately believed in – no wonder people wondered why I decided to apply to business school.

Following Your Heart to (…but Not Setting It on) Kellogg

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:49:00 GMT

After four years in the same post-college job, I knew going into Year 5 that it was time for a change.

Starting a new adventure

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:49:00 GMT

Attending school after five years of work has been a different and exciting experience for me in many ways.

KWEST, CIM launches the journey

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:47:00 GMT

Lucky for me, I began business school in the heyday of Facebook, and a strategically timed “Kellogg Class of 2013” Facebook group that allowed first years to get here and hit the ground running.

Making the most out of two years

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:46:00 GMT

It is hard to imagine that more than one year ago, I was finalizing my Kellogg application for the Round 1 deadline.

Picture the Possibilities

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:29:56 GMT

It is hard to believe that I am officially starting my 2nd year at Kellogg. It seems like yesterday that I walked the halls of Jacobs on the first day of CIM (Complete Immersion in Management) and marching into the OLC Auditorium chanting with my section.

MBA Internship Final Presentations

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:30:35 GMT

Six hundred Kellogg MBAs finished their first year of business school this past spring and went off into the workforce to start their summer internships. Some of them went into consulting. Others into banking and finance.

Reflecting on the 2010-2011 School Year

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:26:48 GMT

2010 was an interesting year. Most of us left high-paying banking and consulting jobs and finally decided to return to business school.

Spring Quarter

Sun, 22 May 2011 14:08:53 GMT

At long last, spring quarter is finally here. For most of us, that’s great news! But getting here hasn’t necessarily been a piece of cake.

Global Health Initiative at Kellogg

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 08:56:24 GMT

This past spring break, 32 Kellogg students traveled to Kenya as part of the Global Immersion in Management (GIM) class and the Global Heath Initiative (GHI) at the Kellogg School of Management.

GIM Southeast Asia- The Only “Exercise” I Got For Spring Break

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:05:53 GMT

After complete the winter quarter of my first year here at Kellogg, I embarked on a two-week journey to Southeast Asia with 29 of my classmates in the Global Initiatives in Management program (GIM) for spring break 2011.

Recruiting at Kellogg

Mon, 07 Feb 2011 08:13:39 GMT

After months of attending recruiting events during the first quarter of school, interview season is finally in full swing here at Kellogg.

When You DAK, I DAK, Just Like That

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:06:17 GMT

As promised, I am dedicating this entry to the first Day At Kellogg weekend coming up February 10th-14th. But before I do that, I would like to take a moment and tell you about some new friends that I made since the beginning of the winter quarter.

Finally Finished Fall Quarter

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 15:27:03 GMT

Just a few weeks ago, the fall term ended with final exams in our first quarter classes. But getting here wasn’t necessarily a piece of cake.

Moving Forward

Tue, 04 Jan 2011 08:39:36 GMT

Three weeks of break have gone by in a flash. The Kellogg Ski Trip was epic. Just imagine 750+ Kellogg students taking over Aspen/Snowmass for a whole week.

Fall Quarter. Done.

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:34:30 GMT

After I complete my four finals during the week of December 6th, I would have officially completed my first quarter of business school.

KWEST

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:26:13 GMT

Just a few weeks ago, I finally finished what was an incredibly grueling summer. Not only did I take classes with the rest of my JD-‐MBA classmates, but I also worked full time at a law firm in downtown Chicago.

The McManus Way

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:24:45 GMT

As an admissions tour guide and lunch host, I get asked many questions from prospective students regarding housing, so I thought that I would dedicate an entry on this topic.

Kellogg KWEST

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 10:39:03 GMT

Kellogg KWEST…Let’s Gooo!!!!

It was finally here. The trip for which I’d been planning virtually all summer, the trip that would kick off my MBA career – it was finally here.

Hello!

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 10:38:10 GMT

Hi! I am Megan Lyons, and I’m just starting my first year at Kellogg. It has sure been a whirlwind of activity and excitement, but I can already tell that I’m going to learn a ton, build long-lasting relationships, and have lots of fun over the next two years!

First week of classes

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 10:36:22 GMT

I have just finished my first week of real classes for the fall quarter at Kellogg. Even though I already took a required core class during the pre-term (three hours everyday for two weeks), this week felt more official because I had a full load of 4 classes for the quarter.

Kellogg Convocation for 2nd years

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 14:38:18 GMT

This thursday was a welcome back convocation event for Kellogg second years.

Spring

Spring is here

Winter Update

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:07:14 GMT

Last term ended well with a big, week-long bash in Vail...

Recruiting On

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:29:52 GMT

The first quarter at Kellogg was busy. The second quarter - Busier! Why? Recruiting for 1^st year internships is on...

Why Northwestern

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:17:29 GMT

Just this past August, I began my business school journey here in Northwestern's JD-MBA program.

The JD-MBA perspective

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:10:44 GMT

I'd love to focus on one thing in this entry, but it's impossible. There is so much going on that to give a prospective student just one side of it would be unfair.

First Quarter is a Success!

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:04:46 GMT

It’s hard to believe that one quarter of my Kellogg life is already over.

Why I Chose MMM

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:53:35 GMT

The MMM program is often misunderstood. MBA = Masters of Business Administration + Masters of Engineering Management. But what does it really mean? And who should pursue it?

A busy summer

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:18:24 GMT

This summer has been quite varied and considerably busier than I thought it would be. Regardless, after spending a year at the law school in downtown Chicago, taking a mix of law and business classes has been a relief.
