Chicago Minds Campaign at Chicago Booth

Published on September 21, 2026

For more than 125 years, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business has produced pioneering discoveries, cultivated a preeminent faculty whose work deepens understanding and shapes new disciplines, and nurtured students who have become innovators across industries.

Today, the global Booth community is uniquely positioned to solve evolving challenges in areas from artificial intelligence to healthcare to sustainability, and to educate the next generation of business leaders. We stand at a moment of tremendous opportunity to further cement our position as the world’s best social science research institution and educator of future global innovators.

Through the Chicago Minds campaign, Chicago Booth will capitalize on our traditions of rigor, analysis, and collaboration to become the global destination for thought leaders who are shaping and defining new fields, and for students who have the greatest potential to harness their education for impact. New investments will:

  • Fuel a state-of-the-art infrastructure and research ecosystem.
  • Strengthen our position as the destination for superstar faculty across disciplines.
  • Support scholarships and experiences that attract the best students from every background.
  • Position Booth as the world leader in applying data analytics to address the most important issues of our time.

We invite you to partner with us in this work. Engage with our global community. Become a donor to the Annual Fund. Fund the professorships and scholarships that support great minds. Make transformative commitments that will define the future of Chicago Booth.
