  • Hasan Yardimci: Graduate of Kellogg School of Management, Hasan Yardimci
    September, 2010
    Graduated from the Master of Business Administration program at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, concentrating studies on strategy, marketing, and finance. Time at Northwestern University was financed by a scholarship from the Turkish Education Fund (Turk Egitim Vakfi), awarded to select students each year based on merit and potential for future study. The Kellogg School of Management was first established in 1908 as a part-time evening program in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It is consistently regarded as one of the top business schools in the world by such authoritative sources as The Economist, U.S. News & World Report, and BusinessWeek.

    The Kellogg School of Management distinguishes itself from other business schools by emphasizing teamwork skills in addition to leadership ability. Current students operate most of the school’s organizations and programs, including admissions, new-student orientation, and the school’s annual conference. All applicants to the Kellogg School of Management are interviewed and considered based on their proven leadership abilities and their perceived ability to contribute to the cooperative environment nourished by the student body. In order to foster a sense of community, many students participate in school-sponsored trips with their peers, called Kellogg Worldwide Experiences and Service Trips, prior to enrolling in their first year of coursework. With a deep commitment to a global perspective, the business school also collaborates with other schools around the world to foster a worldwide dialogue on today’s pressing issues. These partner schools include other top universities such as the Indian School of Business in India, the Guanghua School of Management in China, the Recanati Graduate School of Management in Israel, and the WHU-Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany.

    The current faculty at the Kellogg School of Management includes Nobel Laureate in Economics Roger Myerson as well as Philip Kotler, who was ranked as the number four management guru of all time by the Financial Times.
