Chicago Options Program

There are 101 ways to make an impression with MBA students and attract top talent. The Chicago Options Program brings those opportunities together for you.

The Chicago Options Program enables corporations to sponsor high-visibility, student-focused events and programs. Sponsorship is a great way for companies to identify and attract top talent by supporting activities for students interested in their industry.

How can my company participate?

Very simply! Your first step is to review the potential sponsorship opportunities, grouped below by programmatic area and student group. Choose the events or activities that will advance your recruiting or marketing strategy by offering exposure to the students or Chicago GSB constituency you are most interested in engaging. Once you have identified your best options, we will be happy to facilitate your sponsorship and confirm details for the event.
