We’re thrilled to welcome our newest classmates to Chicago Booth! The Class of 2021 started their first day of Orientation today at the Harper Center, filling the Winter Garden with 590+ excited new Boothies.

Looking forward to our second year and to meeting all of these amazing first-year students. Congrats again, and welcome to the Booth family!

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Professor Epley one-on-one. Read on to see the highlights of our conversation.
