About BoothEd

BoothEd’s mission is to further the professional and personal interests of Booth students in the education sector. BoothEd equips our members with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to make an impact in the education sector. We do this by supporting the career searches of students in the education industry; leading an education technology career trek; hosting an annual conference with speakers who work in the education sector; and supporting other events that address topics at the intersection of business and education. The group's scope spans charter school management organizations; ed-tech; education venture funds and incubators; traditional public school districts; education-related publishing and content providers; tutoring and test-prep organizations; higher education; education focused foundations; for-profit education companies; and education service providers.

In 2023 - 2024, BoothEd hopes to have a particular focus on the Education Technology industry and address the following focus areas.
