Kellogg School of Management goes to Patagonia with NOLS

Students from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University successfully completed a NOLS backpacking course in Chilean Patagonia. The seven-day outdoor expedition focused on honing leadership skills in a wild and spectacular location. Marketing, strategy, and finance student Allison Yang stated she will return to her MBA program with newly refined decision-making styles, helping her professionally at her job at Proctor & Gamble:

“If you can figure out how to cross rapid-flowing, waist-deep rivers or how to bushwhack through almost impenetrably dense brush on extremely steep inclines, then you can figure out how to turn around a declining business or bring new innovation to a category—they both require dedication, brainstorming, and teamwork.”
