Students become part of the Wharton community the first day they step onto campus. Their potential is developed inside the classroom and through the hundreds of leadership opportunities they pursue with student clubs and conferences.

With the help of Wharton External Affairs it seeks to host events and offer programs that foster relations between current students and alumni.
