Winter Quarter Events

Get ready to lean into the magic of Winter Quarter at Booth ❄️ - because SAC is bringing the vibes all season long. We’re kicking things off by reconnecting at the Welcome Week Social, then jumping straight into career mode with a Booth - Kellogg networking night and a confidence-boosting Public Speaking workshop to sharpen your executive presence. We’ll pause to give back and honor Dr. King at the MLK Day of Service, then balance purpose with play through a cultural visit to the DuSable Museum, a lively bar crawl, and classic winter fun on the ice. As the quarter heats up, get ready to dress up for our Parisian Winter Formal before closing it all out with laughter, drinks, and good company at the End of Quarter Social. From career growth to community impact to unforgettable winter nights, this quarter has it all - see you out there, Boothies! 🎉❄️
