Alumni Relations
Director of Alumni Relations, Ara Alabi | W'27
Since its founding in 1975, the Black Wharton Undergraduate Association (BWUA) has been a dynamic support system for the Black community at the University of Pennsylvania. Through our conferences and general body meetings, we help our members gain industry knowledge, networking skills, and discover their passions in the business pre-professional path. BWUA can be credited with directly helping its members gain access to internships and full-time jobs in some of America’s most competitive and elite Fortune 500 companies.
As follows, Black Wharton has a substantial alumni network spanning across a multitude of industries and is dedicated to maintaining relationships with its alumni base in order to foster mentorship and sustainability within the organization. Through semi-annual newsletters, we intend to keep alumni aware of the detailed progress of its events and students’ successes. Additionally, our annual alumni receptions give alumni the opportunity to return to Penn and meet our current members.
