2005
was an exciting year for the Black Management Alumni club.
Here are some highlights:
The
club Web site was launched with a campaign to encourage alumni
to join the club or update their profiles. To date, we have
over 220 alumni registered club members.
The
18th Annual BMA Conference was coordinated by current BMA
students, and provided a perfect venue to host our annual
Alumni Townhall Meeting.
Alumni
participated in the selection process for the BMA Alumni Scholarship;
seven applicants were nominated.
The
Kellogg Black Alumni Club hosted a Worldwide Welcome Week
networking event in celebration of new graduates entering
into business communities around the world. The WWW event
allowed new alums to network with alums already in the workforce.
Jim Corboy, director of alumni relations, was our guest speaker.
Many
club members supported Kellogg Admissions by participating
in Kellogg Minority Information Sessions, which were held
in various cities across the country.
During
the 27th Annual National BMA Conference in San Diego, more
than 25 alums gathered for an alumni networking reception.
The reception included a presentation by an executive search
firm.
During
the BMA Career Networking Session, alumni discussed opportunities
at their companies with current job-seeking students.
The
club's co-chairs attended the Kellogg Alumni Club Leader Conference,
where they learned and shared best practices with other club
co-chairs, and received information on additional support
provided by Alumni Relations.
The
club supported Kellogg Preview, an outreach effort by BMA
students for potential minority applicants to give them a
glimpse into life as a Kellogg student, ranging from classes
and working in teams to living in Evanston.
Students
at Kellogg are gearing up for an exciting conference scheduled
April 7-9, 2006. This year's theme is "Influencing the
World: Building
Intellectual, Economic and Social Capital." More details
about the conference can be found at kellogg.northwestern.edu/bmaconference/.
