During the week leading up to the Class of 2020’s unconventional virtual graduation ceremony, the Graduate Business Council planned a series of remote events for us to celebrate our accomplishments and get in a little more bonding before everyone goes their separate ways, to new cities, new jobs, and new adventures.

A History Lesson on Booth’s Pay-it-forward Culture
Inspired by a virtual event I attended entitled “Booth Alumni Perspectives: Building Resilience in Times of Crisis,” I recently began a mission to better understand the history of Chicago Booth’s legendary “pay-it-forward” culture.
