The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, also known as Chicago GSB, is one of the leading business schools in the world, the second oldest in the United States, and the first to offer the Executive MBA (EMBA) program.

Its flagship campus is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois on the grounds of the university at large. The school also maintains additional campuses in London and Singapore, and downtown on the Magnificent Mile.

While recognized for the excellence of its graduate business programs in general, the school's research reputation is particularly notable in the fields of finance, economics, quantitative marketing and accounting.

The school's global alumni network consists of leaders in for-profit, non-profit, governmental, public policy and academic enterprises. (wikipedia.org)

Two, while the job market is far from great, our graduates are doing extremely well due in no small part to an ever-strengthening GSB network. In this letter I'll focus on the former, but I do want to say that this year we must stay focused on job opportunities for our students and alumni.

With a great sense of accomplishment, we ended the GSB Campaign on June 30. The nine-year effort yielded $355 million in contributions from 19,000 donors. We ended the campaign on a high note: Our fundraising progress in the 2007-08 fiscal year totaled $57 million with an amazing 22 extremely generous gifts in excess of $1 million.
