Testimonials

 

“Joining the KLI Fellows is one of the best ways to engage with the CMC community as an alumni. I’ve attended lectures, lively dinners with guest speakers, and engaged directly with the wonderful current KLI students through panels and class dinners at the Athenaeum. KLI affords me the opportunity to not only develop myself as a leader, but to help in the development of young CMCers – two things that make joining the KLI Fellows well worth the investment of time and money.”

“The Fellows Program is the Ath for KLI alumni. It’s an opportunity to learn from leaders in a variety of fields. The peer group is extraordinary – I’ve been as impressed with the Fellows as I have been with the speakers.”

“These last three years as a Kravis Fellow have allowed me to continue my learning and development in unprecedented ways across all facets of my life (career, academic and personal).  You have unique access to top business and industry leaders through the Kravis Fellow’s exclusive events.  You can take advantage of the Kravis Fellow’s many opportunities to continue your academic growth through attending KLI’s conferences, participating in CMC’s Silicon Valley program as well as organizing thought-provoking panel discussions.  Lastly, you are able to stay strongly connected with the Claremont Colleges through regular interaction with current students, staff, faculty and alumni.  Going from student to young professional wasn’t always easy, and I’m so glad I had the Kravis Fellows Program to help me not only survive, but thrive during this transition.”
