Join WSIC’s “How I Got Here” Coffee & Career Circles. Each small group conversation pairs you with a second-year student who has pursued social impact work before and during their time at Wharton in areas such as impact investing, global development and policy, and healthcare innovation. Learn about their path and ask questions about careers and recruiting in a relaxed environment. Chats will take place at Gran Caffe L'Aquila (Rittenhouse), and each participant will receive a voucher for a complimentary coffee, courtesy of funding from the McNulty Leadership Program.
