Women's Business Association | What We Do

Professional Development

The Professional Development team works to educate and train Kellogg women+allies 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 women+allies 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+allies 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.

Belonging

The Belonging committee drives the WBA's commitment to serving and uplifting all women+allies at Kellogg. Belonging curates opportunities for the WBA community to connect with one another on shared interests, backgrounds, and experiences.

Prospective Outreach

Our mission is to share the experiences of women+allies in the admissions process 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, Northwestern undergraduate 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 WBA community is aware of and engaged with opportunities across campus.

Finance & 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.
