Video of Kim strutting down a hallway at the business school that was captured by an employee showed her being surrounded by a film crew.
According to Peoplethe footage will be used for a story on her Hulu series The Kardashians.
The shapewear mogul reportedly had massive crowds of students and onlookers, as well as reporters and camera crews, following her as she moved around campus.
It appears to have been largely a surprise to students and staff, which explains the large crowds of shocked onlookers.

Kim probably wanted to keep the event as low-key as possible to prevent hordes of onlookers from descending on the business school.
Video captured by a staff member and shared on Twitter reveals that Kim was dressed for business in a smart pinstripe suit with floor-length baggy pants that covered her black, pointed-toe shoes.
He wore it with a matching jacket and had a sleek black leather smock draped over his shoulders.

Although she was the star of the class, she seems to have been more of a supplementary figure to the lecture.
“I was sitting off to the side, but I was still involved in the conference,” the attendee added.
The same attendee was dazzled after getting a closer look at Kim.
‘She really looked like she did on TV. She was stunning, and she was exactly how she was portrayed. This is exactly what she looks like,’ they gushed. “As she was leaving, she waved at us and said hello as she walked out.”
Another video showed Kim waving to her fans as she was quickly escorted to a waiting SUV after wrapping up her performance.
