The University of Chicago is immensely special, and Booth is a very important part of that University of Chicago culture.

We have the best business school faculty in the world. We certainly have the most Nobel Prize winners.

We as scientists have influenced policy with cutting-edge research.

Booth's focus on an analytical mindset and the Chicago approach was a strong draw for me, but then also the student body felt so down to earth.
Erik Hurst:
Booth students are among the best in the world.
Katrina Bernhardt:
It's not only one way, from the professor to the students. It's really an active discussion.
Erik Hurst:
We always want to be teaching how to think as opposed to what to think. These are the people that are going to be the movers and shakers of future generations, and having an ability to help them see a perspective on the world they might not have thought about before, it's one of the greatest joys of being here.
Steven Neil Kaplan:
The Booth students are special because they come here and they actually want to learn something.

The scholarship that I received from Chicago Booth was really life-changing. We're not only becoming business leaders, but people leaders.
Erik Hurst:
The philanthropy is kind of a lifeblood of higher education, and then it's on us, the researchers, to make sure that we're creating science that's going to be lasting and worthy.
Katrina Bernhardt:
It's incredible being in this community of outstanding and accomplished future leaders.
Erik Hurst:
We spend a lot of our time here at great institutions, like the University of Chicago, trying to build walls of knowledge to leave to future generations.
