"Together the Spilkers have endowed generous undergraduate scholarships, opening Wharton's doors to accomplished students who otherwise could not afford a Penn education. Now the Co-Head of the Investment Management Division at Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., in New York, Marc understands first-hand how the academic demands at Wharton set the groundwork for innovative careers in business leadership. As Diane puts it, the School "shows students how to think and accept different points of view, which lets people innovate outside the box."

Increased access – a central goal in The Campaign for Wharton – fosters diversity and builds a more robust learning environment for everyone at the School, Marc explains.  "Diversity includes everything from different learning styles to different socioeconomic backgrounds. Any kind of diversity adds value to the School and, by extension, to the University of Pennsylvania as a whole."
