Wharton on the Road
DEAR FELLOW ALUMNI:
Living in somewhat rural upstate New
York, I always welcome the opportunity
to travel, especially if it means
expanding my horizons and meeting
Wharton alumni from all over the
U.S. and the world. In this, Wharton's
125th anniversary year, such opportunities
abound. Throughout the year,
Wharton will be gathering alumni in
cities around the world and in the U.S.
to strengthen our shared sense of community
as our worldwide network continues
to expand.
WHARTON GLOBAL FORUMS
It all started with the January global
forum in Mumbai, India, which served
as the kick-off event for the school's
anniversary celebration. Alumni who
attended were treated to unique and
energizing sessions with business leaders
engaged in endeavors throughout
the region. But that was only the start,
because we soon will be holding forums
in Istanbul, Turkey and Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. Each of these events promises
to be one-of-a kind, providing an incredible
opportunity to meet alumni
and business leaders from these very
different parts of the world.
THE WHARTON NETWORK
There has been much talk in the press
lately about globalization and its impact
on the way we do business and
live our lives. Wharton, with its global
alumni network, gives each of us connections
to increase our understanding
of this phenomenon. I hope that you
will consider attending at least one of
our 125th anniversary events to expand
your own horizons and leverage
the unique access that your Wharton
network provides. If you are unable
to attend the events outside the U.S.,
there are also several forums that will
be held in various U.S. cities.
Visit www.wharton.upenn.edu for upcoming forum locations
and information.
I hope to see you at one of the upcoming
events, but in the meantime,
I always welcome your comments and
suggestions.
