I am your host, Kristy Bleizeffer, and I will be showcasing the most crucial P&Q articles you might have overlooked. So, let’s dive in.
Wharton’s exceptional research capabilities are renowned in academia. The business school at the University of Pennsylvania houses over 20 research centers and initiatives covering various fields such as analytics, public policy, and social impact. Its research activities lead to the development of new courses, programs, and collaborations bridging academia, industry, and government to tackle significant global business challenges.
Unsurprisingly, Wharton has recently ranked first in two prominent research evaluations: The Financial Times’ annual research ranking and the UT-Dallas North American and Worldwide rankings.

This year’s roster features 60 female students and individuals from diverse national backgrounds. They represent a diverse array of talents, ranging from top athletes and social advocates to military veterans and startup pioneers.
To explore the profiles of all 100 exceptional individuals, head over to our homepage.
Introducing three innovative business concepts:
