Class Gifts
Class of 2003

  Full-time Class Gift

The Class of 2003 showed tremendous support for Kellogg through their class gift campaign, raising $192, 057 in pledges from 84% of the graduating second-years. Sections 65 and 69 tied for highest participation rate among the sections, both coming in at an impressive 98%. Section 63 weighed a close second with 95%, and 1Years, Section 61 and 62 all tied for third place with 81%. The ETDT’s should also be recognized for 100% participation from all six members of their section!

Funds from the 2003 Class Gift Campaign will be used to renovate the student lounge. The updated lounge, located on the ground floor of the Donald B. Jacobs Center, will feature new furniture and other enhancements that will make the room a more inviting space in which students can gather. The Class of 2003 Student Lounge will be unveiled in the fall of 2003.

The campaign was led by co-chairs Tindley Whipple Gilbert and Eric Whaley, marketing co-chairs Deborah Hartman and Carrie Johnson, and Technology co-chairs Glenn Hollister and Bill Nahmias. Congratulations to all the section representatives who did a great job in securing pledges for the campaign: Stacy Arend, JJ Betts, Jacqueline Chow, Dave Corbett, Christina Hennington, Claudia Hseuh, Dan Lifshin, Belinda Marcus, Ryan Massie, Michelle Miller, Jay Owen, Alyssa Pohl, Sam Pollack, Larry Tarschis, Andrea Washington, Tim Wren, and Mike Zechmeister.

The TMP Class of 2003 raised the bar for future classes with the outstanding success of their class gift campaign. With participation from nearly 60% of the class, the campaign raised $125,000 in pledges.

The TMP Class of 2003 designated their class gift to fund the design and installation of a stained glass mural for the 4th floor lounge area in Weiboldt Hall. The students commissioned artist Ricardo Montano to create a design that portrays the TMP experience. The Class of 2003 stained glass mural will be unveiled in the Spring of 2004.

The Class Gift Committee was chaired by Mimi Slogar. Other members of the committee included: Rachel Affrunti, Ako Amegah, Rodneyse Bichotte, Cathy Frampton, Meredith Gonzalez, Ravi Kaushik, Alex Kent, Jill Molchan, Sally Pantovich, Ryann Plinska, Rick Pollock, Stewart Pratt, and Geoff Zenick.

   
  Executive Master's Program

The 2003 EMP classes showed their support of Kellogg with three successful gift campaigns.

EMP 53, whose campaign was led by Josh Ferrer, chose to designate their gift to the EMP Scholarship Fund. Steve Conley and Pete Dankwerth led the EMP 54 campaign to endow a merit-based scholarship for future Kellogg full-time students. Under the exceptional leadership of the Class Gift co-chairs, Dean Hart and Bob Shanahan, EMP 55 raised $117,700 in pledges with 100% participation. Funds from the EMP 55 Class Gift Campaign will be directed to create new Kellogg School signage for the Allen Center with remaining funds allocated to the EMP Scholarship Fund. This is a wonderful gesture in support of EMP and its future students and a special way to leave the legacy of EMP 55 at Kellogg.
