Extracurricular Activities
The MMM program's innovative curriculum is enhanced by its vibrant relationship with the manufacturing community. Industry leaders on the MMM Advisory Board help set the program's agenda. Conferences and seminars bring additional industry experts to campus.
Conferences
The annual Manufacturing Business Conference was launched in 1996 by a group of MMM students. Their goal: to address the top strategic issues facing today's manufacturing organizations. The result: an annual forum for industry leaders and academic experts to explore the latest advances in manufacturing and management.
MMM students also play leading roles in organizing other conferences that address technology and broader management issues. Those events provide students with many opportunities to meet and learn from experts in technology fields.
Visits to Industry
In the MMM program, the classroom experience is complemented with visits to manufacturing facilities, both domestic and overseas. Many MMM students participate in Kellogg's Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) program, during which students perform in-depth research on business opportunities around the world. GIM brings students to the factory floor in nations such as China, Vietnam and South Africa.
MMM students also have frequent opportunities to visit manufacturers throughout the United States. Companies that have welcomed MMM students into their plants include Toyota, Baxter International Inc., Harley-Davidson Inc. and many others.
