Whitney Young Conference Tackles Global Health Partnerships
Global health partnerships
between pharmaceutical
companies and NGOs and
the realities of selling medicines
across borders were
among the myriad topics
discussed during the 34th
annual Whitney M. Young
Jr. Memorial Conference
held last November and
December in Philadelphia.
Student and corporate
attendees also addressed the
state of private equity and
how credit market turmoil
may affect minorities in private
equity to raise capital,
building a business from
the ground up, and what it
takes for African American
candidates to climb to the
top of the corporate ladder
in today’s increasingly competitive
business environment,
among other subjects.
The Whitney Young
Conference began as a lecture
series in 1973 and
has evolved into an annual
three-day event consisting
of a career fair, panel
discussions, workshops and
receptions, all produced
and administered by the
African American MBA
Association, a Wharton
student-run organization.
