David Booth, MBA'71, received the University of Chicago Medal on November 7, 2018. In 2008, David Booth decided to make a landmark gift of $300 million to what was then called the Graduate School of Business. When the gift was announced, Booth said the school had done great things in the past, and he wanted to give it the means to do great things in the future. Since then, the school has lived up to that challenge. And in recognition of his transformative commitment, Trustees voted to rename the school the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Booth's ties to the University remain strong, nearly half a century after he graduated. In addition to serving on the University's Board of Trustees, he is a life member of the Council on Chicago Booth and a member of the Board of Overseers of the University's Becker Friedman Institute for Economics. Established in 1976 by President John T. Wilson and awarded by the Board of Trustees, the University of Chicago Medal recognizes distinguished service of the highest order to the University by an individual or a couple. Twenty-three medals have been bestowed since its creation. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research.
