Best Wishes in 2012 from Kellogg and Dean Sally Blount
As the year comes to an end, students and faculty are beginning to think about the new year. First years about recruiting which will hit them hard in just a couple of days. Second years about what they want to do after business school and how they want to spend the last few months. Admits about what schools to attend and how early to start networking. And everyone else about New Years resolutions, not just at work but also with their friends and families. Well, recently Dean Blount at Kellogg sent an email to the school wishing us a nice 2012.
Recently Dean Blount of the Kellogg School sent an email to the student body wishing us a great 2012. Â See below for the email, which includes a video about what Kellogg aspires to do in 2012.
Dear Kellogg Community,
At the beginning of 2011, we set an ambitious agenda to reposition Kellogg strategically, operationally and as a brand. Now, we’re ending the year with a nearly complete strategic plan, a newly articulated brand positioning, a new organizational structure, and an architect for our global hub. Our team has prepared a video (CLICK HERE to see the video) that captures our progress.
And now as 2011 comes to a close, I would like to thank you and our entire community — for your trust in me and for your belief in Kellogg. It means a lot.
With gratitude–
Sally Blount ’92
Dean
A few quotes from the video
- We believe business can be world changing
- Its the willingness to challenge convention; challenge the status quo; to not accept that just because it’s always been done this way that, that’s the way it should be done in the future
- It’s out grounded wisdom, its our courageous and collaborative spirit, and its that pioneering vision … that’s Kellogg.
- There has to be a competitor that challenges the status quo if you really want to stay relevant to the modern world.
