DEAN'S WELCOME
If the past is indeed prologue, the Kellogg School can look forward to an exciting and rewarding next century to prepare students for lifelong journeys of growth and social contribution.Dear Friends,
Looking back on the Kellogg School’s last century offers remarkable insight into how a modest school of commerce transformed itself into a global leader in management education. The story is exciting, filled with dynamic teachers, practitioners, students and others whose desire to create a bold academic community eager to solve real problems has produced one of the world’s most prestigious business schools.Since 1908, the Kellogg School has initiated critical discourse, strengthened managerial skill and produced influential leaders in all areas of public and commercial life. Kellogg has not merely passed an endurance test; its 100th birthday is testament to the lasting value created by generations who have contributed to and benefited from the school’s rich culture and knowledge.
The story on this Web site highlights the Kellogg School’s journey over the last 100 years. As we move forward, our collaborative culture will remain central, as will the school’s constant reinvention of itself to meet contemporary demands. These qualities are hallmarks at Kellogg, where innovation is continuous, a fact that encourages creativity, quick adaptation to market needs, and refinement of ideas to align theory with practice.
As you explore this Web site, I encourage you to take part in our celebration. Vision, passion and integrity created the foundation of the Kellogg School that exists today, and these elements will continue to be essential for the faculty, students, alumni and corporate partners who will build on our successes tomorrow.
If the past is indeed prologue, the Kellogg School can look forward to an exciting and rewarding next century as we continue to prepare students for lifelong journeys of growth and social contribution.
Sincerely,
Dean Dipak C. Jain
