About the Wharton Club of Boston

The Wharton Club of Boston supports alumni success in our region through our rich calendar of events, liaison with the School, and more.
As a member of the Wharton Club, you have access to valuable networking and career-building opportunities to keep your contacts and knowledge at the forefront. These benefits are always valuable, but especially so in the more challenging global economy we now face.

You may also wish to consider other privileges of membership: Many events are for members and their guests only. Most feature special rates for members only, and some give members the first opportunity to sign up. With limited capacity events especially, these facets add up to great value and access.

Here's the bottom line: Any one of these benefits alone could merit your decision to join or renew your membership. Together, they are indeed a powerful - and we hope irresistible - combination that can be a dynamic tool to enhance your career and your life in the New England and Boston area. That may explain why the number of active Club members has risen over 100% in the past year.

The membership and support of every member and every alum is vital to maintaining our momentum and strength, as we are operationally independent of the School.

Your membership and active involvement help to build our Club and the strength of the Wharton network worldwide for the benefit of all, especially you. As the network grows in scope and strength, your point of ready access is right here, in the New England region. As alumni of many other leading B-Schools have told us, no B-School alumni club offers more. And our own members have used Club contacts and other resources to advance with new and stimulating jobs, clients, contacts and friendships.

Our web site will introduce you to the Club, and show you how you can actively participate in activities we sponsor and support for your benefit. We list new events every month, so please bookmark this site and check it regularly! You can also get regular updates through our email newsletters for members and friends.

We look forward to more exciting and stimulating Wharton Club events and to your participation in the Wharton Boston community. You worked hard for your Wharton degree. If you join our Club, you can make it work harder for you!
