About Us

Mission Statement

Wharton Magazine serves as an essential connection between the School and its alumni population of more than 100,000 living graduates, with stories about the people and ideas who define the global Wharton community. Each issue, along with the magazine’s website, covers a wide range of subjects: alumni and faculty profiles; topical features on issues that matter to our audience; faculty research and thought leadership; and School news. Whether our readers are recent grads or emeritus alumni, the magazine is a bridge between them, their classmates, and their alma mater. Our aim is to contribute to the School’s mission of lifelong learning for alumni, increase pride as a member of the Wharton community, and lead to more engagement with the alumni network and the School. Wharton Magazine is published twice yearly (Spring/Summer, Fall/Winter) and is also available on our website.
