Atlanta

The Atlanta Alumni Club has new officers. I would like to thank the following individuals for their renewed commitment to the Kellogg community in Atlanta: vice president of social events, Kyle Antcliff; vice president of membership, Chris Tomseth; and vice president of careers, Rick Berg.

The vice president of careers is a new position in response to increasing requests from alumni on advice about jobs in Atlanta, networking events, etc. The vice president of educational events position remains open. Our club officer in this position, Kevin Whelan, has recently moved out of Atlanta. If you are interested in helping out with the club in any manner including holding an officer’s position, please contact Sarita at ssoldz@mindspring.com.

The Atlanta club is putting together an Advisory Board for the club. The idea is to provide a way for our more senior and recent alums to interact and provide input to the club. The main obligation for Advisory Board members is to meet on a quarterly basis. If you are interested, please contact Chris Tomseth at ctomseth1998@alum.kellogg.nwu.edu.

In June, the Atlanta Alumni Club participated in a welcoming event for all new graduates living in Atlanta and had a successful Braves baseball game outing. The club continues to enjoy monthly social events on the second Wednesday of every month at The Park Tavern near Piedmont Park.

We geared up for new events this fall, including a golf tournament, a career transition event, an MBA Update Event, and possibly a visit by our new dean, Dipak Jain.

Additionally, if you are interested in being a part of the Community Consulting Teams in Atlanta (providing volunteer consulting to nonprofit organizations), please contact Sarita. An organizational event occurred Nov. 15.
