Class of 1986 20-year MBA Reunion

20 years ago we crossed a stage and then spread out around the world to embark on new careers.

Many exciting changes have taken place on campus and within Wharton. So re-engage with our school which has, like yourself, grown in stature, direction and accomplishments over the last twenty years.

The weekend will include an exciting array of receptions, parties, and dinners, as well as informative sessions headed by Wharton faculty and prestigious alumni. We look forward to seeing you!
