One cannot stress enough the role played by clubs in shaping the student experience at Kellogg. Given their significance, it becomes all the more critical that we continue to improve the value that clubs bring to students. As Kellogg United’s candidate for VP of Finance & Clubs, I am eager to take on this challenge. Fortunately, I will not be facing this daunting task alone. I have with me 6 dedicated souls—all 6 of them current section leaders and 3 of them part of the KSA board—to guide me toward solutions that are effective and implementable.
I would like to get your thoughts on what I believe is an issue that deserves immediate attention: the need for improved coordination among clubs. While most clubs at Kellogg are in themselves excellent, we all will benefit from their working together better. Often the same firms are on campus through various clubs increasing the number of events students feel they have to attend. At other times, there are events organized by larger clubs that could have benefited smaller clubs had both worked together in organizing them.
If elected, my plan of action is two-fold: first, to sit down with the leadership committees of larger clubs to investigate ways they can help smaller clubs, say, by organizing at least one combined event every quarter, and second, to work side-by-side with Craig, candidate VP for Career Management, to keep track of and coordinate the presence on campus of the same firms through different clubs.
What do YOU think of this issue? What other club-related issues are on your mind? Do let me know by clicking on “Comments” below.
Warm regards,
