Kellogg Kohorts –                   

 

Welcome Back! We hope you’ve settled into this winter quarter.

 

We apologize you haven’t heard from us sooner. After elections we spent most for the 2nd half of the fall quarter getting our team in place and learning the ropes from our trail blazing colleagues on the 2009 board. They have done an amazing job and we have much to thank them for… and more importantly BIG shoes to fill!

 

So, what is Kohorts? Well, it is a hybrid between a student government body for Saturday students and a student club. We hope to serve you as a link to the administration, and by enhancing the Kellogg Saturday experience through extracurricular activities. Activities include professional or faculty speakers, social events and happy hours, and the Winter Getaway Trip.

 

We also work closely with the KPTSA to ensure the Saturday Program is represented in planning and to encourage scheduling that is friendly to the Saturday student body where possible.

 

So, enough about us… what are we doing for you? At the moment we are planning a few speakers and events for the current quarter and next. We’ve also included other weekend events organized by the KPTSA that might be of interest to you. As always, check ENews and our Kohorts Kellogg Groups page for event announcements.
