Welcome Class of 2022!

Because Covid-19 challenges the integrity and program
quality our adult class deserves, we're offering the 2021
Class the opportunity to extend their class year to 2022,
becoming the FIRST, BEST and ONLY 2 year class ever!

YLSS Class of 2022

The Class of 2021 was cancelled due to Covid-19 and those accepted students were invited to remain and join a new Class of 2022. Please email our YLSS Director if you would like to be notified if and when we have an opening. Thanks.

Thanks for Sharing our Vision

Our annual alumni giving campaign has been very successful. Thanks to all our alumni donors, listed at link below. We can't thank you enough. Not an alumni, but want to help? We appreciate a gift of ANY size!

THANK YOU!

Live LEARN LEAD at NOON

Thank you to our Live Learn Lead at Noon committee and especially our professionals: Elizabeth Douglass, Dr. Joanne Peeler and Dr. Ben Cohen for the information and insight they shared during our recent Live Learn Lead at Noon webinar on Mental Health Matters – Ways to Wellness! We are happy to share the video recording from this session and ask that you share it and the attached wellness tips and resources with family, friends or colleagues. It’s valuable information for all of us, particularly during these challenging times. Stay well and stay tuned for more LSS community-wide events.

Wharton's New Dean Makes History
July 1, 2020
We are proud to share this GMA video of Dr. Erika James on her first day as Dean of Wharton Business School. Dr. James was one of our distinguished 2020 Live Learn Lead panelists last February 27, the same night news broke that she would be leaving as Dean of Emory's Goizueta Business School for the University of Pennsylvania. Her leadership perspective on her first day at Wharton is insightful, as it was when she spoke at Live Learn Lead. Congratulations again Dr. James.
