Greetings from Philadelphia, Spring is in the air here in Philadelphia, which means it’s time for Graduation and Reunion weekend. While bittersweet to send off our Class of 2012, I look forward to welcoming them to the alumni network when they graduate...
There are two kinds of people in this world- the first kind who run away from a fire with fear on their faces, and the second kind who run into fire with smiles on their faces. After years of conditioning as the first kind, I jumped on to the other side...
Hey guys, it’s been quite a while and a lot of water has passed under the bridge; Park city, recruiting, catching up on school work and fun times. Let’s face it, when you look back at the two years you spent in business school, you won’t...
Greetings, readers! I'm writing from the glorious fantasyland known as spring break. Remember that from college? That magical week that came out of nowhere to rescue you, just when you thought you couldn't write one more paper or do one more problem...
Lots to report since my last post! Here are a few extracurricular highlights: WEST COAST TECH TREK: A group of about 30 of us trekked out to Silicon Valley and Seattle for company visits and networking. We visited 10+ companies in 5 days, which made for...

Wharton is a serious place. People here are smart, driven, committed, and inspiring. Academics are rigorous (still need to read my marketing case for tomorrow and its past midnight...) and extracurriculars serious. As an outsider, you'd be forgiven...
I realize I'm a little behind my fellow student diarists: I meant to post this last weekend... but I'm glad I waited until now, because every new day here at Wharton offers a ton of new experiences! So I have more to share with you :) Also, this...
It's great to be back in Philadelphia and pre-term has been a blast so far. It's been insanely busy though. I got back from India (where I was on summer immersion as part of my dual degree Lauder program) last Saturday, which was immediately followed...
The one year anniversary of our move to Philadelphia came and went a few weeks ago and it's prompted me to reflect a little on our time here. While there are things that I still miss insanely about our old home in Chicago, there are some uniquely...
