Wharton Club of South Florida Mixes Business and entertainment
Winter is the busiest season for the
Wharton Club of South Florida, and
this past year’s was particularly eventful. Gene Sulzberger, W’86, from
Mellon Bank again hosted the Annual
Corporate Growth Event atop the
Mellon Bank Building on Brickell
Avenue. With a stunning view of the
city at sunset, alumni enjoyed wine
and hors d’oeuvres prior to the presentation.
The two featured companies
were DayJet and DHL. As DayJet presented
its concept for on-demand, bythe-
seat air transportation, many heads
nodded in understanding and hopes
for better options. Gerald Berson, W’41, received the distinguished
alumnus award from Club President Bill Britton, WG’89, for his outstanding
service to the Club over his years
in South Florida.
In March, Wharton alumni of
South Florida spent an evening in
the fast world of cars and entertainment.
The evening began with great
food, wine and conversation as alumni
and their guests mingled amidst the
Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Bentleys
at the Collexium showroom in Davie.
No test driving permitted this evening!
Pete Fader, Frances and Pei-Yuan Chia
Professor of Marketing, and Nelson
Gayton, Director of the Wharton Media & Entertainment Initiative, shared some
exciting ideas and statistics from their research
in the music industry.
The South Florida Club continues to
strike a balance between venue, speaker,
and sponsor. As the season heats up
in Florida, the club cools down, so stay
tuned for events in the fall. |
