Wharton External Affairs, University Of Pennsylvania Work Values

Daily Duties at Wharton External Affairs, University Of Pennsylvania:

Managing a decade of Wharton MBA alumni in their highest earning years, I raised unrestricted support with an emphasis on increased giving during their reunion years (20th and 25th reunions). Assembling a prospect pool of 250 alumni, I identified and recruited volunteers to host events where they lived, reuniting fellow alumni to identify volunteers to lead their reunion and cultivate and solicit their annual support. Established a pattern to encourage alumni to increase giving to their class gift campaign during their reunion years. Implemented in 2008, work with alumni to identify, train and manage volunteers for the School's Peer-to-Peer Campaign and Symposium.

What they like about Wharton External Affairs, University Of Pennsylvania:

The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
