Korea

On Feb. 24, Associate Dean Emeritus Ed Wilson met over dinner in Seoul with members of the Korean alumni club. Thanks to Korean alumni, the number of students enrolling at Kellogg from Korea over the past several years has increased significantly. As a result, the membership of the Korean alumni club is growing.

There are few active clubs that serve Kellogg as generously as the Korean club — strength of leadership explains this phenomenon. Members are active in interviewing prospective students, fund-raising and planning club events, such as dinners and golf outings, for members. Dean Wilson was encouraged by Dean Dipak Jain to visit the Korean alumni club to bring his greetings and express his appreciation for the club's many contributions to Kellogg. The school's strategy for being No. 1 in team leadership, thought leadership and global leadership to maintain Kellogg as the premier MBA program in the world, was central to Dean Wilson's conversation with the alums in attendance at the dinner. Professor Kotler visited the club earlier this academic year.
