What It Takes to Get Things Done
Ask any recruiter in pursuit of the best business minds, and they'll
tell you that the distinguishing mark of the Wharton graduate is
a drive to make things happen. "When our students walk out of
here, they hit the ground running," says Dean Patrick Harker.
"They have the fundamentals – and they also know what it takes
to get things done."
It's no surprise then that it's Wharton's
graduates who keep the Campaign for
Sustained Leadership on schedule. Now
out of the quiet phase, in which the
School raised $280 million, the Campaign
is open, public and moving steadily
toward its $425 million goal (increased
from the original target of $350 million),
thanks to generous alumni, volunteers
and friends.
The New Generation of Leadership
The new-generation alumni have more
in common than their leadership and
generosity. They see Wharton as a life-
changing experience; they feel an obligation to give back; and they hold a passion
for keeping the School at the forefront
of business education.
Strength in Numbers: the Wharton Fund
When Jon Huntsman made his unprecedented 40 million gift
to Wharton as a cornerstone of the campaign, he was carrying on a tradition of giving that
affected him personally. As a student, Huntsman received a scholarship established by the
Zellerbach family, which enabled him to attend Wharton.
