Welcome to the 38th Annual Wharton Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Conference

Hosted by The Wharton School’s African American MBA Association

Success has no limits, especially when we empower ourselves with the knowledge and creativity required to push boundaries and broaden the playing field. Building on the life and legacy of civil rights leader Whitney M. Young, Jr., this conference will explore the ways in which accomplished business leaders have differentiated themselves and achieved higher levels of success by being information seekers and visionary thinkers. Whether you work in finance or marketing, are passionate about social impact and politics, or have plans to engage in the global markets, we invite you to expand your definition of success and be inspired to pursue your goals.
