Bio
Gabrielle Viard currently serves as Assistant Director of Global Programs at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. She oversees Kellogg's MBA Exchange Program, working closely with both outgoing and incoming exchange students. She first joined Kellogg in 2014 as a member of the Executive MBA department working with the Academic and Student Experience teams.
She completed her Master of Science in Higher Education and Policy at Northwestern University in 2015 after earning her Bachelor’s Degree from Marquette University in 2012. Most recently, in Fall 2018, Gabrielle became certified as an Academic Practitioner of the TMC Cultural Orientations Approach with the hope of encouraging cross-cultural learning throughout higher education.
Gabrielle lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband Jonathan. She spends as much of her free time as possible surrounded by family and friends. When she’s not with them, she can usually be found binge-watching The Great British Baking Show, working on a DIY project or planning her next trip.
I'm passionate about
People. Relationship building. Cross-cultural learning. Dialogue across difference.
An idea worth spreading
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change we seek.”
- Barack Obama
