WSB students from the BBA program participate in a two-day Undergrad Consulting Trek in Chicago. On the first day of the trek, the students visited Kemper, Kraft Heinz, and Spaulding Ridge on Tuesday, March 14, 2023. During their visit, they toured the property, listened, and asked questions from various members of the Kraft Heinz staff. (Paul L. Newby, II /UW-Madison Wisconsin School of Business)
