Social Impact @ Wharton
Vice Dean Leonard Lodish on the Program for Social Impact.
"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
The Wharton Program for Social Impact (WPSI) brings Wharton's expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, and vast network to bear on the complex intersection of business and social impact by fostering key social impact initiatives throughout the school. By enabling the integration of learning, experience and impact, and the development of research, outreach and student-centered programs, WPSI furthers the commitment to make Wharton a "force for social good."
