The MMM Community
Of the MMM program's many strengths, its greatest may well be its tremendous sense of community. Its students, faculty and alumni share a passionate interest in products and the companies that make them. This common bond is enhanced by the deep spirit of collegiality at the core of the MMM program.
From their first days on campus, MMM students are immersed in an environment that is devoted to building leadership and teamwork. Team skills and lifelong friendships take root in core classes and flourish in the program's many extracurricular offerings.
MMM students are unique in that they bridge two Northwestern University schools, and they move easily between them. MMM students play leading roles at the Kellogg School, as members of the student government and in many other activities outside of class, including intramural sports and Kellogg's annual "Special K" musical revue. They also take part in social and career-oriented events at the McCormick School of Engineering.
A variety of activities unique to the MMM program are coordinated by the MMM Student Executive Council. This student-run board organizes a student-to-student mentoring program, many social events, and visits to manufacturing facilities.
The Alumni Network
MMM alumni around the world are extremely supportive of the program. They return to campus frequently to participate in events and to mentor current students. They also provide networking assistance to students seeking internships and full-time employment, and continue to offer support to fellow alumni throughout their careers. With each graduating class, this network, already the largest of any manufacturing management program in the country, grows even more influential.
MMM alumni enjoy many continuing benefits from the program after graduation. These include an online alumni directory, email forwarding addresses, and lifelong learning opportunities. They also have access to career management resources, including workshops, a database of job opportunities exclusively for graduates, and free, one-on-one career counseling.
