This past November and December, Boothies celebrated the winter holidays together, all over the world – 400 students crashed Aspen for a week for our annual Ski Trip, hundreds went on career treks from San Francisco to Dubai, and endless more celebrated classmates’ weddings, spent time with family, or traveled to new cities. We asked all of our amazing classmates to share their holiday photos that captured their favorite aspects of the Booth community—its interconnectedness, its creativity, its diversity, its adventurousness, and every other event or observation that inspires us all to get in the Booth spirit! Check out our favorites…
“These Boothies show their elation after conquering the Aspen Highlands Bowl. A real highlight of an amazing week of skiing and celebrating with friends during the Booth ski trip.” – Alex George
“Booth students gather at The Chopping Block for a diversity event cooking class and holiday party.” – Antoinette King
“This photo is a compilation of some of my favorite people at Booth (mostly from the best. RW. group. ever.) opening their Secret Santa presents. I love this picture because it captures the laughter and stories we shared that evening, and reminds me of the extreme extent to which some of my friends *love* the holidays even more than I do. I posted this a week before I was returning to Chicago from Winter Break and remember thinking that as much as I hated leaving ‘home’, I had really missed all these faces and was looking forward to seeing them all again!” – Joanna Si
“I had the good fortune to land in a house with eight lovely ladies for the Booth ski trip. We choose the Bieber “Sorry” music video as our theme for the Music of the Decades themed party.” – Patrick Burke
“Cuba is an amazing time capsule of classic American cars. The trip was organized with the help of TripWeave, a travel start-up founded by 2nd year Boothie Daniel Valenti.” – Joseline Merchan
“In this coffee chat with my niece in Dallas, we mostly discussed worms and our favorite colors.” – Igor German
“This year’s West Coast Tech Trek visited Amazon’s Headquarters in Seattle. Along the way, we made a pit stop at the first ever Amazon Book Store for some season’s readings!” – Vivian Fan
“Cartagena’s most famous landmark, The Torre del Reloj, or Clock Tower, was once the main gateway to the walled city. It was built in the XVII century.” – Hamid Dalglijli
“Shopping for Christmas presents in Mexico city over the break.” – Marcela Silveyra
“When a couple of second years (Valdemaro and Melissa) gets married in their hometown of Lima, Peru, you better believe Boothies will take over the dance floor!” – Ewelina Lewandowska
“During Booth’s Ski & Snowboard club trip to Aspen, CO, Boothies took on a 45 minute hike to the 12,382 foot summit of Highland Peak. It was well worth the hard work, as we were rewarded with plenty of fresh powder turns all the way back down.” – Lauren Koenig
“This picture was taken at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen during the 2015 Booth Ski Trip. The theme of this costume party was “Music of the Decades” so we chose to rep the 90s and dress up as TLC from their music video “Creep.” It was one of my favorite (and most comfortable) costumes of business school.” – Sarah Jahnke
