Our students bring a rich variety of perspectives and professional experiences—contributing to a dynamic learning environment where collaboration, connection, and personal growth are at the core.
At Kelley, you’ll join a collaborative community that supports your growth and goals
We work hard to create a community where you can be yourself and make friends, not just an impressive business network. Explore our programs, clubs, and organizations to see how you can connect with your classmates professionally and for fun.
What to expect before you arrive
Get to know our culture by connecting directly with students and staff:
- Recruiting events: Join us virtually or in person throughout the year.
- Student ambassadors: Chat with current Kelley MBAs who share your interests and background.
- Small group sessions: Ask questions and get honest insights.
- Kelley MBA Preview Day: Attend this fall showcase event to experience Kelley up close.
Exceptional leadership starts here
You’ll learn to lead with integrity, self-awareness, and empathy—skills that set the foundation for meaningful leadership. Real-world case studies and guest speakers from inclusive organizations add depth to your learning.
What's Kelley Community all about?
Joining the Kelley Community means you'll always have someone you can turn to with questions—and not just during "business hours." The connections are intentional because we think it's critical for you to have the answers you need before high-stakes decisions and interactions, such as choosing your Career Foundation Academy, participating in a coffee chat with a recruiter, or accepting an internship offer.
The Kelley Community, and your expanding network, includes peers, coaches, faculty, and alumni who have valuable insights to share and are generous with their time—and you'll return the favor as you progress along your career path.
