Quote from the Dean
"Social responsibility is no longer relegated to the relatively small percentage of students who seek to work in the non-profit sector. It has become integrated in our way of thinking at Wharton. Our students now graduate with a deeper sense of social responsibility."
Thomas S. Robertson, Dean of the Wharton School
Social Impact
Social Impact thrives at Wharton, both in the curriculum and in the wide range of activities that involve students, administration, alumni, industry and philanthropic organizations.
Wharton's Program for Social Impact (WPSI) enables a convergence of elements across the School to meet the singular goal of promoting positive change through such areas of focus as sustainability, microfinance and corporate social responsibility. As a business school of unparalleled scale and scope, Wharton is unique in its ability to harness its capabilities to fulfill what it believes are global obligations to social responsibility and economic welfare.
WPSI fosters key social impact initiatives, enabling the consolidation of knowledge generation and information, and development of research, outreach and student-centered programs. Continuing Wharton's longstanding history of taking knowledge and research beyond the classroom, beyond the campus, and into the lives of the global community, WPSI is a dynamic and foundational approach to social impact studies.
