Always Changing, Always Wharton

Always Changing, Always Wharton
By Elisa Ludwig

Returning alumni see changes in Wharton, whether they are returning after five years or 80.

Before group study rooms, cohorts, learning simulations and the core curriculum, there were lecture-driven classes with little student discussion, professors smoking pipes in class, and punch-card computers. On campus for the 2005 Alumni Weekend, former students had a chance to reflect on Wharton academics through the past eight decades. And because Wharton's most pervasive tradition is innovation, even the most recent graduates reported changes to the campus, curriculum and learning style.
