Welcome to the WDC Homepage

The WDC is a student-run committee that represents the students of Wharton Doctoral Programs  

Social Events

The WDC plans various social events to encourage and assist student interaction, including happy hours, outings to entertainment events throughout Philadelphia, movie nights, virtual events,and more. We also collaborate with other academic departments and schools, as well as other organizations such as the Wharton Society for the Advancement of Women in Business Academia (WSAWBA), to sponsor the best possible events for Wharton doctoral students.

Representation

The WDC represents students of Wharton Doctoral Programs in both GAPSA meetings and meetings of the G12 assembly (leaders of all the graduate student groups), advocating specifically on behalf of WDP students regarding travel grants, research funding, needs for special interest groups, etc. We also regularly meet with Wharton administration and faculty, serving as a liaison to voice students' concerns on anything ranging from course registration to health and wellness resources.
