Mission
The mission of Booth Africa is to build a close-knit community for the growing number of Chicago Booth students who have a strong interest in issues, events, and activities related to Africa. We welcome students from all nationalities and backgrounds. Our objectives are as follows: To promote and expose business opportunities in Africa to the Chicago Booth community; To provide a forum for professional networking among Chicago Booth students and alumni with an interest and/or experience in African development; To promote awareness of African culture and heritage at Chicago Booth; To attract African students to Chicago Booth through outreach efforts; and To support group members in achieving success both at Chicago Booth and in all future endeavors

Membership Benefits
We plan cultural and social activities to create awareness of African culture and African business within the Booth community.
We provide first-hand information of business opportunities to member students.
We host the ever-popular Africa trek which takes place during Spring Break every year. Previous trips have been to Ghana, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. These trips are typically a mix of business (where we meet with African business leaders to learn about the business environment on the continent), and pleasure (when we experience social aspects of the beauty of African culture)
