As all alumni know, engaging in dialogue is a fundamental part of Booth’s culture. In that spirit, the business school recently sent a survey to our alumni to ask about the things you value most—from the alumni community, to lifelong learning, to career support.
Nearly 5,000 of you shared your insights, answering questions such as, “How do you participate in lifelong discovery?” and, “How would you rate the value of your investment in an MBA education at Booth?”
We learned that the alumni community continues to get stronger: the vast majority of alumni highly rate the overall value of their investment in their MBA education. We discovered some fun facts too. For example, almost 70 percent of you sported some Booth swag at least once in the past year. Were you one of them? Dive into the data to see how you compare to your fellow Boothies:
