16. Deans' Suite
Booth is a unique environment in that the dean has an active role in the daily workings of the school and recognizes the key part students play in shaping the learning experience. Along these lines, the dean maintains an open-door policy to students when it comes to voicing any questions or concerns. At the beginning of the year, all students are invited to a town hall where the dean provides updates on the school and addresses any matters students want to discuss. We also host coffee hours a couple of times a month where students can chat directly with the deputy dean about perspectives, innovations, and other ideas they have for the Full-Time MBA Program.Click the audio recording below to hear a student story about the Deans' Suite.(The Deans' Suite is keycard access only)
