Complete Immersion in Management

Complete Immersion in Management (CIM) is an important part of the Kellogg School’s Pre-term and orientation program, giving students their first taste of Kellogg culture. CIM includes several days of team-building activities, speakers and social events organized by second-year students.

CIM is part of a Pre-term schedule that also includes a mini technology camp and the intensive Leadership and Organizations class, held in the days before regular fall quarter classes begin. This intensive course focuses on ethical decision making and effective team building, and immediately provides the MBA students with a common language about leadership.

Pre-term is a chance for students to get to know their section mates, a group of about 70 students with whom they will take most of their first-quarter classes. It’s also a chance to meet the Kellogg School’s professors and to become acquainted with the campus. Pre-term includes an introduction to academics at the Kellogg School, a diversity workshop and community service activities. Students in the One-Year Program also experience an orientation period before their classes begin in the summer.
