As rising second-year MBA students at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, we are proud to be part of the record-breaking class of 2021 with the highest percentage of women, 47%, in Wharton’s history. Now, we also have the exciting chance to be an inaugural class under Dean Erika James, whose first official day is today, July 1, 2020. Dean James is the first woman and the first person of color to lead The Wharton School in its 139 year history.
