Women's Business Association | What We Do

Professional Development

The professional development team works to educate and train Kellogg women to achieve success in recruiting, professional networking, and job negotiations. Programming is geared towards near term and long term success  with the goal of growing the population of women in the C-suite and boardroom.

Personal Development

Our mission is to equip WBA members with the skills and perspectives to become their best selves individually while empowering others collectively. We value our wellbeing and intersectionality of identities as core foundations to personal development and seek to provide safe spaces for all to explore, reflect, and grow in these areas.

Community

The community team focuses on ensuring that women from different countries and backgrounds, including the JV community, feel at home at Kellogg. Programming supports small and large group events to foster connection and build networks of support.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion

The DEI committee drives the WBA's commitment to serving and uplifting all women at Kellogg. DE&I liaises with 1Y and E&W WBA leadership, as well as the other affinity clubs on campus to promote intersectional programming and trainings.

Prospective Outreach

Our mission is to make Kellogg the destination for high potential women by serving as brand ambassadors and a support system throughout the admissions process and by partnering with administration, students, and alumnae to plan and execute outreach efforts.

Mentorship and Alumni

Mentorship and Alumni is responsible for facilitating interaction between current Kellogg students and alumni, primarily through social events that will allow these two groups to connect in a comfortable environment.

Strategic Marketing

This committee ensures that the WBA brand remains purpose-driven, and continues to live its mission. Strategic Marketing is also in charge of ensuring Kellogg's women are aware of and engaged with opportunities across campus.

Operations

As the backbone of internal programming, Operations manages quarterly funding, scheduling, internal functions, and organizational operations. This committee holds all other committees accountable across KPIs.

Manbassadors

Manbassadors was founded on the principle that men must play a role in achieving the goal of gender equality. This committee fosters an engaged community of male allies at Kellogg and equips Kellogg men to be advocates for gender equality in the workplace. Our goal is to raise awareness about gender issues and teach men how to address them thoughtfully.
