Wharton 125
125 years ago, Wharton was a radical idea.
To celebrate the ideas it inspired, Wharton looks at the past and the future.
Wharton was the first collegiate business school.
In the past 125 years, we invented the
business curriculum, business textbook,
business professor, and business
student. Through the influence and
actions of faculty and alumni, we've
elevated industries, spread economic
models, influenced capital markets,
built companies, and created opportunities around the world.
In this month's Wharton Alumni
Magazine and in issues to come, you'll
hear directly from a few among
80,000 alumni innovators and leaders:
Warren Lieberfarb, who led the
creation of the DVD; J.D. Power III,
whose market research firm defined
independence; Michael Milken, who changed the bond market
and the funding of
cancer research; and David Yi Li, who restructured China Merchant Holdings and
now leads UBS in China. Learn about how they've achieved innovation and results in
their careers, and hear what they see as trends for the future in their industries.
Look for the stories of more influencers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries
as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the idea that inspired them all.
