Reunion 2002
Images from this year's Reunion in May
Picnics, parties, networking, and ... the Rolling Clones?
Under a sunny sky, more than 900 Reunion attendees visited
the School and enjoyed the events that spanned the weekend
of May 10-12.
As Penn's campus-wide Reunion festivities began on Friday,
Wharton got down to business with an alumni-faculty exchange
about health equity, sponsored by the Leonard Davis Institute,
followed by a presentation by Wharton's Jerry Wind on "Market-
Driven Strategies for Today's Economy."
Of course, it wasn't all business. That evening, alums were
able to catch up and enjoy music and cocktails under a large tent
set up in the Wharton Quad, followed by a packed MBA pub.
Saturday brought two more well-attended faculty presentations - by Michael Useem and Jeremy Siegel - a Wharton Town
Meeting with Dean Pat Harker, and a picnic lunch on the Quad
that included a world music presentation and steel drum band.
Later on, Philadelphia played host to the MBA classes of '92
and '97 , who celebrated their reunions with Latin-themed dinners
and dancers at the Independence Seaport Museum and the
Ballroom at the Ben. Twelve other MBA classes - '32, '37, '42, '47,
'52, '57, '62, '67, '72, '77, '82, and '87 - celebrated their reunions
together at the Inn at Penn. A highlight of the evening was a
special performance by the Rolling Clones - a Rolling Stones
cover band fronted by alum Art McQueen, WG'87, and including
his wife, Lisa, as keyboardist.
Next year's Reunion promises the same mix of educational
programming, networking opportunities, and social engagement
that alums have come to expect, so mark your calendars for May
16-18, 2003!
Couldn't make it to Philly this year?
