Victor Dubeux | How Wharton can prevent the apocalypse
(04/21/23 2:18pm)
The Wharton School is undoubtedly a corporate education household name. With an average starting salary of $85,345 for Wharton undergraduates and 53% of the graduating class committing to the financial sector, it is not hard to see how Wharton became famous as the go-to education for finance aficionados. Walking through Huntsman Hall on a weekday only deepens this impression. I spy Patagonia sweatshirts, Pret recyclable latte cups, and ESG-related recruiting or networking session posters everywhere. “Incubate ideas to transform businesses,” reads a flag on the Patty & Jay H. Baker Forum. Yet, a part of its education reluctantly holds onto the past, and changing it may be necessary to stop the climate apocalypse.
