Friday, May 15, 2020Dear All,
It is so hard to believe we cannot reunite in Philadelphia for our reunion. In-person plans for this year’s Alumni Weekend may be postponed, but it is still a time to celebrate.
Reunion@Home is happening. We hope you will join us! Here is an update on Wharton events taking place Friday and Saturday. Our committee is also working on other programs/sessions as well as cohort gatherings that will take in the weeks to come.
Dean Geoff Garret & Professor Jeremy Siegel
Friday, May 15th 12 – 1:30 PM EDT

Join us for the last call with Dean Geoff Garrett as he provides timely school updates and says farewell to your class. Professor Jeremy Siegel will also present his views on the economy in the context of a global pandemic. There will be an opportunity for audience questions.
Again, while the event will be at your home, registration is required.
