Dear Geishas and Samurais,

Reading this newsletter instead of studying for finals?  Now is about the time it starts to sink in that you might be more interested in Spring Break travel than that 4.0GPA only McKinsey seems to care about.  To help take your minds off the stress of finals, please check out this short video on a part of Japan’s post-tsunami rebranding campaign called “Made in New Japan” (a Kellogg alum working directly for the Prime Minister of Japan helped make this!) Enjoy the break and please bring back plenty of international treats for everyone!
