As part of the Wharton family, children of Wharton graduates are welcome at most Wharton Reunion Weekend events. The School has planned a variety of family-friendly activities that will allow your children to participate in the celebration of your milestone. So if you think reunion weekend is not for you and your family, check out the range of activities we have designed. Who knows, perhaps seeing where you went to school will inspire your children to consider following your path to Wharton.
