While you’re waiting for the return of favorite TV shows or taking a break from studying for the GMAT, you can check out Wharton’s new video about the executive MBA program. The video features “behind the scenes” commentary from current students, alumni and professors about the Wharton EMBA experience.

If you intend to stay at your organization after graduation, why would you need access to Wharton’s EMBA Career Management Services? It turns out that there is a lot more to career services than just helping students find jobs after graduation.

The battle has begun! It started when the second-year Women’s Group in Wharton’s Executive MBA Program decided to participate in the upcoming Philadelphia Marathon, but now it has turned into a full-fledged competition between the EMBA classes over who can raise the most money and run/walk the most miles.

It’s been about a month so far, and the new Wharton EMBA students in Philadelphia and at Wharton West in San Francisco are settling in nicely to their new environments. Philadelphia students are residing every other weekend in the Steinberg Conference Center where they eat in the executive dining room, meet with their teams in group study rooms, and take advantage of in-house fitness facilities. Wharton West students are staying at a top-brand nearby hotel during their program weekends, and they eat all their meals together in Wharton's executive dining room.

Congrats to the entering Wharton EMBA students for making it through Boot Camp, officially completing their first sessions as Wharton MBA students!

A former governor of the Central Bank of Turkey, the inventor of one of the first scooters, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal Online, a prolific author …. These are some of the accomplishments of faculty teaching Wharton EMBA students in Philadelphia and San Francisco this summer.

In case you didn’t catch The New York Times May 29th article on Professor Stewart Friedman, here’s the first sentence:  “Students talk about Stewart D. Friedman, a management professor at the Wharton School, with a mixture of earnest admiration, gratitude and rock star adoration.” Wow! That’s a great description of Prof. Friedman, who frequently teaches the “Total Leadership” elective class to EMBA students on the east and west coasts. The article goes on to highlight the popularity of his class, noting that many students later credit him with changing their lives.

A second year Executive MBA student's vision has been realized by combining his Wharton education, military experience, and an unending reserve of energy and dedication.

Wharton Executive MBA second year students from both the East and West programs have returned from their International Seminar trips.  In September the Philadelphia class visited Shanghai while the San Francisco class went to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.  The international seminar marks the culmination of a semester-long examination into how business firms develop and implement strategy in a competitive global context.

Last week we posted a Communique from the Wharton MBA Program for Executives class in San Francisco.  Now you'll see how the East first-year class spent a recent weekend.
