FROM Wharton Admissions Blog: Geoffrey Garrett Named Next Dean of the Wharton School |
Geoffrey Garrett has been named dean of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, effective July 1. The announcement was made today by Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price. “Geoff Garrett has a proven track record as an eminent interdisciplinary scholar and strong and collaborative strategic leader,” Gutmann said. “He has a deep understanding of Wharton’s distinctive mission and a compelling vision for the role of business schools in an era of rapid change and globalization. Geoff has unique experience in international business and business education and is absolutely the right person to partner with Wharton faculty, students, staff and alumni to take the School to even greater heights.” A former faculty member in Wharton’s management department, Garrett is currently dean and professor of business in the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales. He is a distinguished political economist who has held positions at some of the world’s most eminent institutions. “Our selection of Geoff Garrett as the next dean of the Wharton School successfully concludes a global search to find a successor to Tom Robertson, who has served with distinction as dean of since 2007,” Gutmann said. “Under Tom’s leadership, Wharton has solidified its position as one of the world’s preeminent business schools, deepened its investments in traditional areas of strength and emerged as a leader in major strategic areas, including global engagement, innovation and social impact.” Read more.

FROM Wharton Admissions Blog: Spring Forward |
The admissions staff is back in the office after several weeks of crisscrossing the globe to meet Round 2 applicants for Team Based Discussions. As usual, we were highly impressed by the quality of candidates we saw in this round, as well as the thoughtfulness you put into the discussion prompt about how to engage young alumni through Lifelong Learning initiatives. We all look forward, and are sure you are too, to the March 25th decision release date. While the admissions team was travelling the world, I did some globe-trotting of my own and had the pleasure of attending Wharton’s Global Forum in Panama last week. The theme for this Forum was “Connectivity” – inspired by the Panama Canal’s upcoming 100th anniversary and the interrelated nature of today’s business models. At the Forum, I had the opportunity to reconnect with young alumni, women leaders in business, and speak alongside the Dean about Wharton’s engagement in the region. You can view a social media recap of the event at https://whr.tn/1no1H8H. And finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Wharton’s shared #1 spot in the recent U.S. News & World Report 2015 Best Business Schools. We were all very excited and pleased by this recognition of our incredible students and the work that Wharton does to support them. We look forward to the successes of our future classes and the greatness that Wharton can achieve.
