"Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to give back have a responsibility to participate," says Joshua J. Harris, W'86. "It's giving back to an educational institution that gave me the skills to succeed. I come from a middle-class background, and I feel it's important to allow other people to have the same chance that I did."
Joshua Harris, the founding senior partner at Apollo Management LP, understands how private equity can infuse fresh capital and long-term vision, free from public-market pressures. "Wharton is in a unique position to serve -- showing leadership and pioneering new innovations, including in private equity," says Josh. Thanks to his generosity, the School can now strengthen its scholarship and research in the area of private equity through the The Joshua J. Harris Endowed Fund. |
