Chicago Booth Muslims in Business (MiB) supports full-time, part-time, and executive-level Muslim MBA Candidates across their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. We exist to cultivate the next generation of Muslim leaders coming out of Chicago Booth. Each class inherits a lasting legacy of Booth's Muslim community, such as the iftaars, the prayer spaces, the alumni relationships, and more. All Boothies are welcome here, Muslim or not.

MiB is where Muslim students at Booth can be fully themselves — professionally ambitious and grounded in faith. We host the meetings, discussions, and holiday celebrations to make that possible, from Ramadan iftaars to Eid. We also build bridges across the wider Booth and Chicago communities. Lunch-and-learns, alumni panels, lectures, and cultural workshops give Muslims and non-Muslims alike a window into the role of Islam in business. Our events are open to all Boothies and friends.
Find your people at Booth. MiB hosts everything from potluck dinners to chai talks, and during Ramadan you'll break your fast alongside classmates instead of alone in your apartment. We also eat our way through Chicago's Middle Eastern and South Asian restaurants, a real perk in one of the best food cities in the world.
Your network should extend well past graduation. We connect members with Muslim alumni in their target industries for mentorship and recruiting support, and we open doors through joint programming with Northwestern Kellogg, Muppies, and the annual Muslims in Business Conference. The people who came before you want to help, and we make the introduction.
We bring Muslim voices to the center of campus life. MiB hosts Booth's Eid festival to close out Ramadan, partners with other faith communities to build interfaith dialogue, and invites leading Muslim thinkers, including Booth's very own Professor Amir Sufi, to speak on the contributions Muslims have made to business.
All students, no matter your religious affiliation, are invited to participate and contribute to MiB. Click the link below to join us on Booth Groups!
