Rogers is an experienced entrepreneur and thus brings both academic and practical perspectives to class. Lest any reader wonder why a professor who is known for scaring students deserves to be written about so favorably, we should note that Rogers has twice won the student-selected Lavengood Award for Outstanding Professor of the Year (1996, 2005). Moreover, in 2009, <em>Ebony<\/em> magazine named Rogers one of the top 150 influential people in America.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Kellogg and 15 other top-ranked business schools, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.mbamission.com\/collections\/insider-s-guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mbaMission Insider\u2019s Guides<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose a business school to attend, but the educational experience is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors.
