Student Organizations:
Wharton Undergraduate Division works closely with the following student organizations:
In addition to the organizations above, there are over forty Wharton undergraduate-specific clubs to get involved with during your four years. Participating in a club or conference will help you gain important leadership skills and provide you with a great opportunity to network with your peers. Planning a conference, organizing a study break, spearheading a community service project in the Greater Philadelphia region or serving as a club leader will give you valuable tools which will benefit you while at Wharton as well as in your professional career. We hope that you will get involved and contribute to the Wharton undergraduate community! Click here for a full list of recognized clubs.
There is always something going on within the Wharton community. In order to keep you better informed, we have designed an email newsletter called the Wharton Exchange which will help to keep you posted on what is going on here within Wharton Life. Be sure to catch the Wharton Exchange every Monday and Wednesday!
We hope that you will take advantage of all that Wharton and Penn have to offer! For more information about Wharton Life, please contact the Director of Student Life in the Wharton Undergraduate Division, Mr. Lee Kramer at 215-898-7613 or at lkramer@wharton.upenn.edu

The Wharton Council is comprised of sixteen students who oversee Wharton traditions like Winter Whartonland, Clubbing Night, Wharton Undergraduate Leadership Forum. The group also oversees budgetary matters for clubs, initiates the club recognition process, and upholds the policy and regulations standards for clubs. Every member of the Council serves as a liaison to all recognized student clubs and provides necessary support and guidance.

Wharton Dean’s Undergraduate Advisory Board: Comprised of Wharton undergraduates, the Wharton Dean’s Undergraduate Advisory Board (WAB) works to improve the overall undergraduate experience specifically the academic environment by collaborating with administrators in the Wharton Undergraduate Division and in the Dean’s Office. WAB meets regularly with the Vice Dean and administrators within the Division to provide feedback on their findings and to recommend areas of improvement and enhancement.

Cohorts: Founded in 2006, the cohort system is designed to enhance the Wharton undergraduate community. Beginning with the Class of 2010, students entering Wharton are placed in one of nine cohorts named after international currencies. There are many wonderful opportunities in each cohort class including social activities, community service projects, career discovery and exploration series as well as many leadership opportunities like serving as a cohort mentor, a cohort buddy and a cohort council member.

Wharton Alumni Relations Council: Working with Alumni Affairs, this council works to promote awareness of Wharton Alumni Affairs and creates interactions between undergraduate students and alumni. WARC along with the Wharton Council helped to create a new Wharton tradition called the Senior Reception. In addition, WARC helps Alumni Affairs and Wharton Undergraduate Division with the fall and spring Wharton Alumni Colloquia, which is a series of workshops and seminars led by distinguished Wharton alumni.
