I knew it would be challenging and rigorousacademically, but I have been surprised by the sense of community here, and the feelingthat there are always people looking out for you. My teammates and I became very closefriends and we worked together in and outside the classroom. The class encourages leadershipby allowing you to think for yourself. I think that’s why our project turned out aswell as it did. Knowing we pulled it together after countless hours of work was a greatfeeling.”Shateesha Huggins, W’08Cleveland, OHConsidering Marketing, Finance, or Health Care Management & Policy concentrationswww.wharton.upenn.edu/undergrad
