We are about a month away from welcoming Booth’s Class of 2024 for orientation and in honor of their upcoming arrival, TBE polled current Boothies on advice for the new students.

Check out their words of wisdom here and more on the blog. To the Class of 2024 – we can’t wait to meet you!

While business school is a great opportunity to develop your expertise in a variety of professional areas, it is also a time to focus on personal pursuits. From running marathons, to traveling the world – the options are endless. For recent graduate, Austin Chen ’22, Booth was an excellent time to pursue his passion for cooking.

Fellow Foodie and TBE Guest Writer, Jessie Wang ’22 had a chance to sit down with Austin and hear more about his culinary creations and his famous Boothie Dinner Parties.

Catch the full conversation on the blog and swipe to see some of Austin’s best dishes 🍅🥦🥕

Marketing at Booth is one of the most popular concentrations and in true Booth fashion, we bring the best quantitative approach to the discipline. In addition to our world class faculty and curriculum, The Kilts Marketing Center hosts a variety of programs each quarter connecting students with the industry.

TBE guest writer Saron Straight, current MBA Marketing Intern at Molson Coors, shares her reflections on how she’s built a marketing career at Booth. Catch the full story on the blog!

Recent graduate Amir Akleh ‘22 used his time at Booth not only to develop his own career, transitioning to an exciting role at McKinsey, but also to support his community.

Check out the full feature on the blog to learn more about Amir’s organization GoBIC which aims to help facilitate and support the Arab community – Muslims and Christians – in the business ecosystem by increasing their presence in business-oriented industries, more specifically, in Banking, Investing, and Consulting (“BIC”).

Amir was also Booth’s Country Captain for The Middle East -> if you’re from a country and looking to connect with Boothie’s from your region, check out the link on the blog (and in our story)! 🌍

An increasing number of Boothies are pursuing careers in social impact in a wide range of positions from non-profits, to impact investing to entrepreneurial paths.

TBE had a chance to sit down with Shelby Cain ‘22 (Former Co-Chair of The Net Impact Group) to hear all about Booth’s 2022 Social Impact Summit.

Before Booth, Shelby served for two years with the U.S. Peace Corps as a Food Security Specialist in Luapula Province, Zambia. She played an integral role in organizing this year’s conference with speakers from The Obama Foundation, The Bridgespan Group and more.

Each year, a select group of high achieving academic Boothies are named The Wallman Scholars. These students represent the Top 5% highest academic GPA’s for their class.

TBE sat down with recent graduate and Wallman Scholar Daniel Huizinga to hear more about how he successfully navigated academics at Booth (oh and being a Dad of two!)

After applying to and interviewing at 9 different Business Schools, Cooper Morrison ‘22 knew a thing or two about MBA admissions. He decided to pursue this passion by becoming a Chicago Booth Admissions Fellow.

Check out Coop’s final TBE Post - a feature on what it was like to be an Admissions Fellow and a member of The Booth Experience team. 👨🏼‍💻

“The prevalence of EQ and IQ per capita is unequivocally high, which never fell flat on me. Every day I would go to Harper Center excited to bump into all of my friends and hoping to get dragged to The Pub after class. I left Booth with some friends that felt like we grew up together and others from completely different walks of life, and a balance of our class with whom I would connect or help at the drop of a hat.”

Catch Ben’s final post: How Chicago Booth Changed My Life … live on the blog! 🎓🥹

“While golden hour turned into dusk, a ballroom full of Booth students, alumni, and business professionals met for the first time in two years for the flagship DuSable Conference hosted by the African American MBA Association (AAMBAA) chapter at Chicago Booth.”
