KSA Student FAQ

 

Wieboldt Campus Life

What is Kellogg Table?
Kellogg Table is a pre-class meal that is held on the 3rd floor of Wieboldt Hall. Kellogg Table is available for pick-up in Wieboldt Hall, Room 362 from 5-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8-9 a.m. and 12-1:30 p.m. on Saturdays. The weekly menu can be found at the bottom of the weekly eNews email sent by Kellogg Evening & Weekend MBA Program.
What do students usually wear to class on weeknights?
Although the dress code is relaxed, many students will come to class straight from work and be wearing their work attire. For this reason, many students will wear business casual although it is not uncommon to see students in t-shirts sitting next to a student in a suit. Keep in mind that Wieboldt tends to be cold, so it is advisable to wear long sleeves, bring a sweatshirt (a great excuse to wear some Kellogg swag!) or bring a jacket.
What do students usually wear to class on weekends?
Students will usually wear smart casual- think jeans with a nice shirt and even blazer. Lots of students will also wear their Kellogg gear. Some students will wear athleisure as well. Think of what you might wear to an office with a casual/relaxed dress code.
Do students hang out after class? Students tend to go to local bars after class. Timothy O'Toole's is the most popular one located a couple of blocks from campus on 622 N Fairbanks Ct, Chicago, IL 60611.
Parking option around Chicago Campus? There are some northwestern parking garages that offer discounted rates. Info can be found here. More general transportation to campus questions can be anwsered here.
Is there free printing/scanning on Campus? Yes, most computers in the building are set up to print at the nearest printer. To activate a print job, you must have you swipe your WildCARD at the printer. All printers now have a QR with instructions on how to access and use.

Kellogg Involvement

How do I join clubs? E&W KSA website has several pages of club info under the Club Resources drop-down list. Students can browse club events and join clubs via campus groups. Navigate to the group's page and click 'Join Group'. You will now get notifications from group events via campus groups. Clubs also use Slack channels for communication. It is very helpful to join their channels to keep getting clubs' updates.
Can E&W students join full time clubs? You can but there is a split. Some Full-Time clubs have Evening & Weekend counterparts (Consulting Club or Women's Business Association). Some more niche clubs, such as Food and Ag, only have one club across the program. The E&W Clubs will usually hold events with more work-friendly hours than those in the Full-Time program. Check on Campus Groups to learn more about your specific interest groups. In general, most club events are open to all Kellogg students regardless of the club being full-time or E&W. Usually students can register for events even non-members of the particular club.
What is the KSA? The Kellogg Student Association is the student government at Kellogg. There is a KSA for the full time, part time, and executive programs. We meet regularly with administration to represent student interests and needs on a variety of topics.
How can I be on or involved with KSA? If you are interested in joining a committee, reach out to that KSA VP. KSA elections are every Winter term with transition in the Spring Quarter.
