June 2025 – Edition 45
In this special edition, three powerful voices from the Wharton community — Chief Advancement Officer Bill Bole, Chief Operating and Financial Officer Colleen O’Neill, and Graduate Executive Board Member Craig Enenstein, G’95, WG’95, PAR’25 — share what it truly means to Meet the Moment through The Wharton Fund.
Bill Bole: ‘The Wharton Fund ensures the School is ready for what’s next’
Bill Bole, chief advancement officer of Wharton External Affairs, reflects on the collective power of donors to The Wharton Fund — and how every contribution helps the School move faster and think bigger.
Colleen O’Neill: ‘Philanthropy doesn’t just support the extras — it supports the essentials’
Colleen O’Neill, chief operating and financial officer at Wharton, explains why tuition and endowment income alone can’t cover all of the School’s core academic offerings or give us the flexibility to lead in an ever-changing world. That’s where The Wharton Fund comes in.
Craig Enenstein: ‘Wharton gives us enormous value; it’s our duty to build the brand’
For Craig Enenstein, G’95, WG’95, PAR’25, a member of the Wharton Graduate Executive Board and the Benjamin Franklin Society, supporting The Wharton Fund isn’t just tradition, it’s personal. He shares why being part of the alumni community means stepping up when it counts.
