Battle of the Bands – Booth ROCKS!
One of the aspects of Booth that I absolutely love is the fun rivalry we have with that other MBA program to the North, Kellogg. It was something I did not expect coming into Booth at all (I assumed rivalries ended with college football!) but also something that I find myself getting super excited and […]
NVC Diaries: Why did you want to do it?
Anyone interested in entrepreneurship, startups or getting involved with new business ventures has likely heard of the Edward L. Kaplan New Venture Challenge (NVC). Run by the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation here at Booth, NVC is a top-ranked accelerator program in the nation and has graduated over 160 start-up companies still in operation […]
Boothies Abroad
Boothies tend to travel quite a bit. Between long weekend trips to Cuba or Paris, Spring Break in Israel (aptly named BoothRight), Ski Trips to Canada and Colorado, Random Walks to Brazil, Japan, Costa Rica, Peru, Russia, South Africa…. and pretty much everywhere else, Boothies are a globally adventurous and travel-hungry crew! But for some who […]

The […]
Interview with Social Enterprise Initiative Director Christina Hachikian
Last week, I sat down with Social Enterprise Initiative (SEI) Director Christina Hachikian to learn more about her new lab class, Scaling Social Innovation. But what I took away from our discussion was so much more. I left with a deeper appreciation for the huge challenges that social sector institutions face to scale their work […]
Interview Season is Here!
Ahhhh Internship Interview Season. Although I am now a second year, I remember it like it was yesterday. Every first year Boothie is donning that “good” suit, it is a race against the clock to reserve a study room since everyone is doing practice cases or mock interviews, and corporate swag from recruiters is everywhere!! […]
A Week to Remember: Booth Ski Trip!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and having just finished finals for the fall quarter I am ready for a break from words right now. So I’m going to let some pictures do the talking! Talking about what, you ask? BOOTH SKI TRIP!!
And the Award Goes to…..
Guest blog from Joseph Dang In the catalog of skills I expected to learn in business school, acting was pretty low on the list. Coming into Booth, I knew there were opportunities to watch my more inclined classmates perform—future SNLers in Follies or the next American Idol in Battle of the Bands—but I didn’t expect […]
