Class Gift
The Class Gift is a Chicago GSB tradition that ushers graduates into the family of philanthropists whose generosity has built this great institution. Graduating students of all programs have demonstrated their confidence in the Chicago GSB by participating in the Class Gift. Each gift sends a powerful market signal of the value of the Chicago GSB degree.

The Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Programs are relative newcomers to the Class Gift initiative. In 2007, graduating students helped to both establish their legacy and show their commitment to maintaining participation-rate momentum.
