Your Wharton Alumni Roadmap
Welcome to Wharton GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade)! This page showcases the benefits available to Wharton alumni after they graduate. As you celebrate earning your MBA and begin your postgraduate journey, use this checklist as a jumping off point to ensure you stay engaged with the School.
0–2 Months Post Graduation
Update Your MyPenn Profile
By updating your profile (including your non-student email and current city), you’ll receive tailored communication, including Wharton Magazine; connect with regional and/or affinity Wharton Clubs® based on your address and interests; and manage your alumni forwarding email address. Keep your information updated so we can share the latest news, events, and opportunities tailored to you.
Save Your PennKey
Your PennKey, a unique username and password, authenticates your identity in our systems and provides exclusive benefits only to alumni. Whether you want to register for your Reunion or other major Wharton events — or to access Lifelong Learning programs like Wharton Webinars — keep your PennKey username and password to help ease your access for years to come. Enroll in Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) so that you can quickly reset your PennKey password in the future using a recovery email address and mobile number.
Join the Wharton School Alumni Group on LinkedIn
Connect with fellow Wharton alumni, view post-event photos, and stay in the know about new opportunities to elevate your career and enhance your network.
