1993 — Part-Time

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer. If you haven't submitted any personal news recently, we want to hear from you! Please include a digital photo of yourself or you with your family and we will share your news with others.

As an update on me, I helped produce a global dealer meeting for the International Truckdealers this summer. I've been under contract with Navistar, my former full-time employer (pre-kids), for 4.5 years now.

In my spare time, I'm serving as a trustee on the Roselle, Ill., village board and helped coin the phrase, "Live Well. Roselle," which we are using on banners in our downtown business district. If you want to open a restaurant or need a great home in a stable community, come to Roselle!

We have been out of Kellogg for 15 years now and I know we all benefited from the experience each in our own way. I enjoy editing this column three times a year and would love to hear from some more folks for our next edition, so please write and I'll include your news.

Todd Lambert writes: "I was certainly the oldest student in the '93 class if not the oldest person to have graduated from the program! I sort of got into the program via the back door as I was in my 60s when I attended. I was hoping to work my way into a doctoral program at Northwestern or ITT but that didn't work so I was proud to complete the master's program and add it to my 28-year-old MBA from Indiana University. In addition to my corporate work, I have been an associate professor at Aurora University and had taught part-time for many years. The Kellogg MM worked for me as the update I needed to continue to teach as a lecturer, senior lecturer and adjunct professor at Northwestern (SCS), North Park University (MBA program) and later at University of New Mexico (MBA program)."
