The Wharton Club

The Wharton Club of the United Kingdom was founded more than 25 years ago. The purpose of the Club is to provide a forum for interaction amongst alumni. There are more than 600 Wharton alumni living in the United Kingdom. Anyone with a degree from The Wharton School – undergraduate, graduate or special programs – is welcome and encouraged to join.

Activities

The Club offers a wide range of social, educational and career development activities throughout the year. These events range from dinner or drinks parties with speakers, seminars and social events such as the Henley Regatta, concerts and dinner dances. The speakers have included senior representatives from a wide range of industries, visiting professors from The Wharton School, and members of government. Often these events are held in interesting venues or private cubs. In addition, The Wharton Club has relationships with many of the other alumni clubs in London which open their events for the benefit of Wharton alumni.

Management

The Club is a non-profit association managed by officers and committee members who are elected by the membership and serve on a voluntary basis. Members are welcome to participate in this management process.

Members

Club members range from recent graduates to retirees. An extensive range of industries and functional skills are represented, as is a wide spectrum of nationalities. A directory of alumni living in the United Kingdom is published and distributed to members.

Joining

The annual membership fee is £30. This cost is to cover the administrative expenses of maintaining the database, organisation of events, and mailings and e-mail communications of events. We hope you will become part of one of the largest Wharton alumni clubs in the world.
