Welcome to the Alumni section of the Kellogg-Recanati Alumni community: The KR International EMBA and the KR high tech MBA.

In 1999 the graduates of KR01, our first KR class, founded the Kellogg-Recanati Alumni Club of the Middle-East. They saw the potential of creating in our region, a strong body of people who have shared the same 2-year experience, and who would benefit from networking with each other, and with other Kellogg Alumni clubs. When KR06 started their studies the KR High Tech MBA was started and since than each year two KR classes graduate.

It is therefore with great pride and pleasure that I now see a strong, global alumni Club, with over 300 members, holding some of the most senior positions in a multitude of industries, and spread over all continents. More and more we learn of how alumni approach each other for many reasons, including business advice, placement and to explore joint business activities, demonstrating without question how more and more Kellogg-Recanati alumni are really networking between each other, and helping each other.

As graduates of both schools Kellogg and Recanati, each KR graduate also enjoys the benefit of being connected to two well-established, active Alumni clubs, being the Kellogg Alumni club with about 40,000 members, and the Recanati Alumni club with about 11,000 members.

We consider the KR Alumni one of the most important assets of the program. Your enthusiasm and recommendations bring us many new, high quality participants, and I would like to take this opportunity to again thank you for your continued support. This is a prime example of the level of involvement and commitment that people who are connected to the program have, which has contributed significantly to making KR a unique experience for the students, graduates, teachers and administration,

Through the web site you will be able, using the KR Alumni Directory, to access lists of alumni members and communicate with other members of the KR community. To maximize the value of the directory, please keep us updated as your personal and business information changes over the tears. We recommend you regularly check this part of the web site for announcements of special news and events for the KR community.

We invite graduates to participate in special events that are organized specially for you, to attend extra-curriculum sessions with executives or with visiting Kellogg professors, and of course, to join our KR classes in courses offered to the current students.

There are many ways to stay in touch with the KR environment. Perhaps the most valuable way is to attend the activities organized by KR, or by the Board of the KR Alumni Club. But if you can't attend, you can regularly read about what's going on via our KR Newsletter, which is regularly sent to all Alumni, electronically.

I look forward to seeing you again at KR events, and as always, welcome your ideas, comments and feedback.
