"Wharton taught me to look at the whole picture, all 360 degrees"
Wharton gave me the opportunity to try a
number of different things and taught me not
to be afraid to do that. I made a big career
move, from the corporate world to the non-profit
sector. I took with me the toolbox that
I assembled at Wharton, and I pull tools out
of that every day.

President and Co-Founder, YouthNoise
At the end of the day, critical thinking, problem
solving, creativity, and analytical skills are the
things that have been most important to me
in my career. I learned those things sitting in
business classes at the Wharton School, and they
formed an incredible foundation for my life.
-David Pottruck C'70, WG'72
President and Co-CEO, Charles Schwab Corporation
My Wharton diploma gave me trust in my
ability to perform, and the confidence that I
can go out there and tackle any challenges
posed to me.
-Mauricio Borgonovo, WG'97
Managing Director, Laurus Partners, LLC.
One of the most valuable aspects of Wharton
is instant credibility. People know that if you've
been through Wharton, that you have a certain
body of knowledge, a certain skill set. I'm in
human resources, which doesn't always get
the credibility it deserves. But I find that I'm
instantly given automatic credit by having
gone through Wharton. People speak to me
differently.
