Company Reachout for Kellogg Job Board postings

Our goal is to increase awareness of professional opportunities on the continent, and one way of doing this is to get more Africa-related jobs listed on the Kellogg Job Board. Where possible, please reach out to former employers or professional contacts on the continent to ask if they have MBA-level opportunities they’d like to list on the Job Board. Please contact Utibe Bassey at ubassey2014@kellogg.northwestern.edu for more information on this and next steps.

NY/DC Emerging Markets Trek

The Emerging Markets Investment Management trek to NY and DC, scheduled to take place on the 25th and 26th of November, is currently looking for more volunteers to co-lead the trek.

Interested? Reach out to Sally Kolta at skolta2015@kellogg.northwestern.edu
