Wharton Alliance for Social Responsibility (WASR) represents an alliance of student clubs and interest groups focused on social impact issues. WASR activities cover a wide range of interests, from environmental sustainability to corporate ethics and social responsibility to nonprofit and public sector management. Through coursework, on-campus speakers and conferences, professional activities, and volunteer work, WASR offers Wharton students the opportunity to pursue professional and personal interests in social impact fields while earning their MBA.

Wharton students have always been passionate about using their business skills to make a positive impact on society. Whether it be consulting for local nonprofits, helping define and execute the strategy of organizations in developing countries, teaching children about business, building homes, or simply learning about social impact in the business environment, more than half of Wharton’s 1600 MBA students are actively involved in social impact activities.
