What’s an example of how the pay-it-forward spirit comes to life at Booth?
MA: The most critical instance experienced was during the pandemic. All of a sudden, everyone had to remain isolated and was worried about how to continue our collaborative education at Booth. Our Dean, faculty, administrative teams, fellow Boothies – everyone rose to the challenge and made every possible attempt for a peaceful passage. Our professors immediately made virtual classes available in no time and made sure that the quality of learning still remained at the highest possible level. Our Administration teams ensured that important safety guidelines and protocols were in action and offered free mandatory vaccines. These bold and effective efforts kept all of us together and focused on our studies.
What are you looking forward to the most during this season?
MA: During this holiday season I look forward to connecting with all family friends and colleagues in person. In the last two years, we were only able to connect virtually. Hence, we will all cherish the moments of being able to see each other in person. I plan to spend as much time as possible with my family.
AA: For the coming holiday season, I am looking forward to some travel and some relaxation. I recently had a new addition to the family and I am looking forward to showing him around the Christmas lights for the very first time!
