WPBA, The Who and Why
The Wharton Politics & Business Association is Penn’s only undergraduate club dedicated to the discussion and formulation of public policy, with a focus on the intersection of private and public interest. The club puts on an on-going lecture series stocked with academics and professionals dealing with the signature theme of each academic year. The purpose of the series is to increase dialogue between the student population and leaders of business, government and other institutions with strong influences in public policy.
In addition, WPBA seeks to develop it’s own policy proposals for distribution. It is through writing these proposals that WPBA may make it’s most lasting impact. One paper addressing the concern of income tax credits was cited and considered by the Pennsylvania state legislator. This past year, former VP of Publications Madeleine Evans worked extensively with Penn administration to create a greener-campus by lowering energy consumption. WPBA is a mechanism of student action; a pool where our ideas that pebbles that can cause ripples beyond what we can see.
In short, get involved!

Cortney Charleston
VP of Publications
