About UCWBG
Our Purpose
UCWBG is a vibrant, passionate community of women who create connections on multiple dimensions - personal, professional and business - throughout all of our life stages. We provide an encouraging and supportive environment to empower our members to succeed on their own terms.
UCWBG is made up of women graduates of the University of Chicago who share a passion for business, an interest in connecting with other talented women and a desire to grow and advance in their careers. As the first, most innovative alumni club of the Booth School of Business, we provide our members with the opportunities to:
- Network with other smart, professional women of all age groups
- Participate in learning programs to enhance skills
- Engage in events and meaningful discussions
- Build and strengthen relationship with the University
Our Mission
The University of Chicago Women's Business Group ("UCWBG") is a nonprofit alumnae association organized to address the professional, personal and career developmental needs of women, primarily graduates of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Chicago Booth).
UCWBG is committed to provide a strong network and enriching environment to foster the long-term growth of relationships between its members, friends, and other University of Chicago organizations.
UCWBG was founded in 1980 by a group of 170 women graduates and students of the Booth School of Business as an educational and networking organization.
