MBA students and undergraduates will have the opportunity to hear about paths to careers across Environmental, Social, and Governance sectors, and ask questions during Q&A. This event is co-presented by MBA Career Management, Wharton Coalition for Equity and Opportunity, and the Wharton MBA Impact Communities, and will be moderated by Jennifer Savoie, Senior Associate Director of MBA Career Management.
