France

On May 17, a new MBA Update will take place in Paris at the prestigious Le Cercle de l'Union InteralliÈe, allowing alumni to get an inside peek at what is being taught in today's Kellogg MBA classrooms. Professor Phil Kotler will be in France for the first time, teaching and meeting with the French alumni community on his most recent book, Marketing Moves. Le Figaro Entreprises also will participate in the event, giving a cover headline of Kotler's views on recent marketing moves required to be successful in the marketplace.

Thanks to the efforts of Kellogg's European Business Club, some leading French publications mentioned Kellogg, including Le Journal du Net and Le Figaro. Further efforts are being made to expand Kellogg's presence in Europe. A series of Kellogg Executive Education programs on business marketing will take place across Europe, including one in Paris on Sept. 17 to 19.

Details of the GIM trip to France in March, which was led by Dean Emeritus Donald P. Jacobs, will soon be posted on the European Web site, now a year old. It is with a certain pride that Kellogg Europe has seen itself grown into a unified alumni community.
