以下は、Kelloggでプライベートエクイティ、ベンチャーキャピタル等を学ぶ学生からなるPEEKというクラブのニュース記事からの抜粋です。

[The winning team] credited the Kellogg School's emphasis on teamwork as a key factor in enabling them to perform under pressure. Their tasks included sifting through an 80-page information memoranda, creating a financial model, performing a qualitative analysis and evaluating the competitive landscape -- all in the space of five hours. "It felt like 20 minutes," Alam said.
"The classroom experience at Kellogg prepares you very well to look at these decisions from a financial and strategic perspective," he added. "The group work teaches you to work with people and get things done. It didn't matter who did what. We all wanted to do a good job, so we were able to divide and conquer pretty quickly."
The school's strong showing may also owe something to recent efforts to highlight private equity within the Kellogg finance program. New course offerings, private equity and venture capital "boot camps," talks by prominent speakers, and visits with leading private equity investors in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, as well as other activities coordinated by the Kellogg Private Equity and Venture Capital Club, have strengthened students' skills in this area.
