Thomas Robertson,
Dean, The Wharton School
The Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania have been engaging in social impact for many years. At her inaugural address in October 2004, Penn President Amy Gutmann introduced the Penn Compact, which is her vision for advancing the University of Pennsylvania "From Excellence to Eminence" in all of our core endeavors — teaching, research, and service. The Compact’s driving principles are increasing access, integrating knowledge, and engaging locally and globally. At Wharton Executive Education, we strive to embrace these concepts in all of the work that we do.
In addition, the arrival of Dean Tom Robertson has brought a broader global and social focus to Wharton. The school is continuing to focus research, teaching programs, and practical application projects on delivering economic and social value to communities and nations in need. As a testament to our commitment to social impact, Executive Education has created a special team dedicated to our outreach in the non-profit, economic development and foundation community.
