It is the GSB's faculty that ensure the school's high reputation. Continuing to attract and retain the very best researchers and teachers is critical. The best minds in the country can hold out for the right answers to those questions, and the best minds in the country are what sets the GSB apart from its peers. Other business schools provide opportunities for learning standard skills, student networking, and that's important. This campaign, and your support of it, will enable the members of the GSB community to shape the future of business in the 21st century, just as they shape business today.
Bright students challenge each other and the faculty to perform at the highest levels.
A student body that is characterized by a diversity of interests, strengths, backgrounds, goals, ethnicities, and gender is essential. It ensures that recruiters and other members of the business community will continue to lend their real-world interest and involvement and that Chicago alumni will continue to form a worldwide, multisector network of thought leaders. As ambitious plans take shape for new facilities and opportunities, the success of the Annual Fund remains critical. The unrestricted support of the Annual Fund ensures flexibility, allowing the school to respond quickly to new challenges or circumstances, launch new ventures, or take advantage of new opportunities. One example occurred in 1999, when the school used Annual Fund contributions to help retain key faculty members who were being actively pursued by other business schools.
