 Christopher Alexander with his KWEST group before leaving for the Canary Islands. This is part four in a six part series. See part one, part two, part three. As I was making my decision to attend Kellogg, I asked myself six questions to determine whether it was the right place for me. Here is the fourth: Are we global and diverse in our experiences and our people? It wasn’t only important to find schools where I can hear global perspectives from my classmates, it was also important for me to develop my own perspective. This was found in the cases and experiences professors brought to class, and the experiences Kellogg makes available to its students. Through Kellogg I’ve been to a host of places and had life changing experiences on trips like KWEST Mystery or Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) South America.  Christopher Alexander on exchange with the group from Morehouse that came to visit in Barcelona at ESADE. It was when I was away for winter quarter on exchange at ESADE where I truly realized the opportunity afforded to me. My alma mater, Morehouse College had their Annual Global Spring Tour in Barcelona, 20 juniors and seniors were present. The professors attending reached out and contacted me, and we worked together to host them at ESADE with the other students from Kellogg. At this moment, I realized the privilege and opportunity provided to me, and that it was my Kellogg experience that the students were interested in understanding. This type of opportunity is necessary if you want to become a global leader or simply to understand the global perspective and landscape. Christopher Alexander is a 2008 graduate of Morehouse College and is in his second year of the 2 year MBA program at Kellogg, his focuses on the Marketing and MORS curriculum. After graduation Chris will be heading back to Deloitte Consulting’s Strategy and Operations group, but will be based in Seattle along with his fiancé, and also Kellogg 2014 graduate Jessica Lane. Chris is very active on Kellogg’s campus, primarily as outgoing Co-President of the Black Management Association, Admissions Interviewer, and member of the class gift committee. Chris originally hails from Roxbury, New Jersey. Filed under: Academics, Admissions, Student Life Tagged: diversity, exchange program, GIM, global, kwest, MBA Program

 Kellogg Professors Derek Rucker and Tim Calkins speak to students about how to score ads during the 2014 Kellogg Super Bowl Ad Review. This post is part five in a series. See part one, part two, part three, part four. As I was making my decision to attend Kellogg, I asked myself six questions to determine whether it was the right place for me. Here is the fifth: Is the classroom both timely and timeless? The educational arena has to provide a platform to understand the past, predict the future, and conceive of how they both relate to current events. For example, the wisdom of marketing guru Philip Kotler has to be combined with the impact of digital and social media for both to have meaning. For instance, our Black Management Association (BMA), with the help of corporate partnerships, developed programming to talk about the effects of multiculturalism and the Hip Hop Culture in marketing. Ignore Facebook’s acquisition of https://gmatclub.com/chat and you miss a real-time case about marketing and acquisition that’s happening right around you. Structure is necessary; however, I prefer flexible rigidity, for as Mark Twain wrote, “you can never let schooling interfere with education.”  Christopher Alexander introducing Steve Stoute, CEO & Founder of Translation, Author of Tanning of America and 2013 AdAge Executive of the Year, at the BMA Conference Christopher Alexander ’14 is a 2008 graduate of Morehouse College and is in his second year of the 2-year MBA program at Kellogg, his focuses on the Marketing and MORS curriculum.
