MBAsians: The Asian MBA Podcast

Some B-schools have a trek before the program starts or during the semester, travel purely led by students. Unlike professional treks, you do not need to worry about recruiting or networking, you just enjoy meeting new friends and learning new cultures. Incoming students can also listen to 2nd year students’ experiences and get lots of tips for their MBA lives. We invite Weber Lu from Northwestern Kellogg to share his KWEST experience, one of the most popular non-academic opportunities at Kellogg.
