The Harper Center Interview: Coming Full Circle at Booth
On the second floor of Harper Center, you’ll find the Career Services Interview Suite, full of seemingly endless, alphabetically ordered interview rooms most of us know really well. I’ve had lots of big moments here over the last few years.
Hyde Park’s Best Outdoor Spots to Get Work Done
Spring is here! This winter was a long one, but that only makes us better appreciate this week’s 70-degree days. In April of last year, I really started exploring the rest of UChicago’s campus, checking out places around the neighborhood, and finding spots to spend time outside between classes on beautiful days.
Building My Booth Network
Ask just about anyone, and you’ll hear that a big part of a full-time MBA program is the networking. Entering Booth with a non-traditional background (I worked in urban turnaround schools for six years), I had no idea what this meant. Networking with companies? With classmates? With alumni? With big name professors? Honestly, the prospect […]
Second-Year Bucket List

After sitting on both sides, I know two things for sure: there aren’t enough tables in the Winter Garden for all ~1100 of us, […]

Check out some of the greatest shots captured on Instagram from Booth’s 31 August 2018 trips across the world! This year, before descending on Hyde Park for a month […]
Beyond Booth: My Summer at Bain
I spent my summer interning at Bain. Through consulting recruiting at Booth, I was lucky to get significant exposure to the people I was actually going to work with as a Summer Associate in the Chicago office, as well as the 2Ys who had just been in my shoes. Between all the fall events and […]
Get to Know Aliy Markowski
I’m from Chicago—from a proud UChicago family—and went to undergrad at Northwestern for Journalism. After college, I moved to Baltimore and joined Teach For America. I loved the excitement and challenge of work in urban schools, but realized after a few years I was more interested in the problem solving in a tough environment than […]
