Friday Factoid: Tuck Alumni Giving

Dartmouth Tuck has almost 9,000 living alumni, and while that figure may sound small compared with a larger school’s alumni base (e.g., Chicago Booth has more than 40,000 living alumni), Tuck is known for having one of the most active and closely knit alumni communities of all the top MBA programs. In fact, the school boasts the highest annual giving rate—more than 65%—of all U.S. MBA programs, well ahead of its peers. Through their continued involvement with the school as mentors, visiting executives, recruiting contacts and internship providers, Tuck alumni keep an open channel between the school and the business world and, some might say, give Tuck students an edge.
