Chicago Booth assures its commitment to maintain an International Student Community

Rose Martinelli, director of admissions and financial aid at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, in her blog, acknowledged the concerns of international Student Community in light of current economic factors and the tightening of domestic resources for international students. She said," While there is no argument that there are greater challenges for international students, Chicago Booth’s commitment to maintain a diverse and global student population is unwavering."

She assured on her blog," our commitment to maintaining an international community is great but our resolve is even greater. We will do all we can to ensure a truly international community represents Chicago Booth in the class of 2011 and beyond"

Rose emphasized, "The University of Chicago was founded on the premise that innovative and world changing ideas are born in an environment rich in diversity and unique perspectives. This commitment has pushed us to found schools on multiple continents, originate an International MBA (IMBA) program, offer more study abroad opportunities than the majority of our peer schools and place more people in international jobs than any of our closest competitors."

She further added,"Chicago Booth recognizes the challenges that lay ahead for our international students and we are facing them head on. This is not just an issue that affects one population of our student body, but the very fabric of our value system. In the next few posts, I will be announcing new initiatives we will put in place to address some of the concerns our international students face in their quest for a Booth MBA, including the announcement of a new loan program currently in the final stage of negotiation."
