Chicago Booth "Random Walks" - 工管

A post yesterday to The Booth Experience, a blog by current students at the
University of Chicago Booth School of Business, showcased the school’s
Random Walk trips, which provide incoming students with a chance to meet and
bond with future classmates before courses begin. Last week, more than 250
incoming Booth students visited two dozen countries around the world as part
of this unique introduction to business school.

The Random Walks (RW) program, which was named for Professor Eugene Fama’s
1965 article, “Random Walks in Stock Market Prices,” was founded in 2001.
Each RW trip comprises between 10 to 12 first-year students and two to four
second-year students, who serve as trip leaders. Past RW trips have taken
students to Belize, China, Israel and South Africa, among countless other
destinations. When we interviewed business school students for the Clear
Admit School Guides, Random Walks were cited by many of the Chicago Booth
students we talked to as among the highlights of their MBA experience.

The post on The Booth Insider shares perspectives from second-year students
on what they most remember about their own RW and what led them to choose to
lead an RW for first-year students this year. Last year these students
traveled to Turkey, Nicaragua and Portugal, and this year they led incoming
students on treks through Israel, Fiji and Brazil.
