Partners and Families at Kellogg

Kellogg is proud to support student partners (Joint Ventures) and their families. Below are several resources available to partners, including access to technology systems, and auditing courses. Do you have questions or don't know where to start? Email our team for an overview of what Kellogg has to offer.

JV Resources

Accessing Slack and CampusGroups

Open/Close
The kellogg-mba Slack workspace is where all Full-Time and Evening and Weekend students communicate socially and for their courses. It's a great place to connect with clubs and student groups. CampusGroups is the events platform where you can sign up for virtual and in-person events hosted by student groups and administration. JVs of current Evening and Weekend students can sign up for Slack and CampusGroups here. Submissions to this form are added to Slack and CampusGroups on a weekly basis.

JV Club

Open/Close

The JV Club is a school-sponsored club that aims to facilitate a smooth transition to life at Kellogg for JV newcomers and continue to provide mutual support throughout your stay. We hope to make your time at Kellogg an enriching and memorable experience. Activities for JVs include lunches and dinners, social get-togethers, cultural events, career development assistance, and meaningful volunteer opportunities. We maintain a strong integration with the entire Kellogg community and hold joint activities with other clubs from time to time. 

Visit the JV Club website to learn more about the JV club and find contact info.

Observing Kellogg Courses

Open/Close

Kellogg is known for and takes pride in its collaborative, inclusive culture. To every extent, we strive for all members of the Kellogg community to have the best experience possible and we welcome JVs to request permission to sit in on a course at no cost - as classroom capacity allows. The instructor has the sole and ultimate authority to grant audit permission.

 

If you are interested in sitting in on a course, here are some guidelines for securing a spot in the class:

  1. Review the course catalog to see what classes interest you. Observing classes is only available at Kellogg and on the Evanston campus. You may not observe these classes.
  2. Email the instructor to see if they are willing to accommodate a JV. When you contact them, please be sure to identify yourself as a JV and include the name of the student and program. 

If you are granted permission to sit in on a course, your student must complete this form to request a NetID needed for course Canvas site access. The KIS team will then be able to assign you a NetID. 

Finding Childcare and Kellogg Kids

Open/Close

Students can make use of childcare resources available from Northwestern here.

Kellogg Kids is the official Kellogg organization that provides a welcoming environment for partners and families of students. The goal of our club is to create a smooth life transition by providing a support network for the spouses of Kellogg students with children. Find them on CampusGroups and Slack.
