BRIEF: Wharton students to talk to deans

The Wharton Dean's Undergraduate Advisory Board is holding a brown bag lunch on March 2 to allow students to voice their views and concerns to Dean Thomas Gerrity and Vice Dean Janice Bellace. The forum, which will be held at noon in Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, room 1020, will give students the opportunity to interact first hand with the deans. Attendance is open to all Wharton undergraduate students who register at the building's reception desk by March 1. "The deans will be able to get a sense of what the students need and want," Kim said. "Common topics are the Wharton curriculum, the grading system, undergraduate teaching assistants, visiting professors and the social aspects of the school." However, students are required to submit a list of topics they wish to discuss before the meeting. The advisory board, which serves as the liaison between the students and the deans, holds two forums each year, one of which is open to all students. -- Kara Blond
