Wharton Alumni Fellows
Empowering students for lifelong engagement with Wharton
Hear what 2021 Alumni Fellows have to say about their student experience and why they support Wharton.
2021 Class Gift
It is a tradition for graduating students to make a class gift to The Wharton Fund, honoring our student experience. Our gift will fund Wharton’s future initiatives and help ensure Wharton has the resources to offer a world-class business education, support experiential learning and student life programming, and attract a vibrant and diverse student body.
Our class gift is an opportunity to commemorate what we’ve gained personally and professionally here, and give back so that future students continue to have an amazing Wharton experience. Join Today!
