Class-Planned Social Events During MBA Reunion Weekend

• Committee- or class-planned social events will be posted and promoted on the Class Pages on the Reunion site. All final details need to be submitted no later than 30 days prior to Reunion. Please note that details received after this date cannot be added to the Class Pages on the Reunion site.
• Campus venues and spaces will be unavailable for committee- and class-planned social events during Reunion, as all space will already be in use.
• All social events with food and beverage should plan to use an off-campus venue. However, if space is needed for small group meetings that do not require food and beverage during Reunion, please reach out to your Class Liaison and every attempt will be made to accommodate your request. Please note that Wharton requests at least 30 days’ lead time to secure space for a small group meeting.
• For class-planned social events, Alumni Relations will help promote your event by posting the details and registration link on the appropriate Reunion Class Page(s). School policy states that Wharton cannot collect registration fees or secure off-campus venues on behalf of alumni, so any payments or venue contracts are to be managed directly by the alumni host. The recommended method of collecting RSVPs is Wufoo, Paperless Post, Eventbrite, or your preferred platform.
• Events held off campus cannot be supported by Wharton Special Events. Class-specific events may not overlap with official School-hosted events and programs during Reunion. Wharton policy states that any activity that takes place at the same time as official School programming cannot be promoted on the Class Pages.

Committee-or Class-Planned Programming During Reunion

• Wharton will provide a designated time slot on the Saturday of Reunion during which the class can host their class-planned educational programs for their fellow classmates.
• Wharton will provide a classroom on campus plus basic technology (screen/pointer).
• Wharton Events and IT will provide support for the event.
• Wharton will promote class-specific programming within the full Reunion schedule on the Reunion website.
• The class program information (session title, description, and all speaker information) must be submitted no later than 30 days prior to Reunion. Speaker information includes speaker names, titles, biographies, and headshots.
• Alumni planning to speak during their class program will be submitted to the Dean’s Office approval process before being added to the Reunion website.
• It is not permitted for alumni to ask faculty to participate in class-planned programming during Reunion (Friday–Saturday). The Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania may be asking any number of faculty to participate in various activities and events throughout Alumni Weekend and Commencement and do not want them to receive conflicting invitations from alumni volunteers over this period.
• If you would like a Wharton faculty member to participate in a class-planned Reunion event, the invite should be sent to your Class Liaison so that the proper Wharton faculty request process can be followed through the Dean’s Office. This is the standard policy of the Dean’s Office as faculty speaking and event attendance engagements must be approved prior to direct outreach.
