VIP Networking Event in the Science Center
Please join Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs and the University City Science Center in a Networking Event with students from the Wharton Venture Initiation Program on Monday, November 9 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at University City Science Center. Join us for refreshments and mix with Wharton/Penn's best and brightest student entrepreneurs along with some of the Philadelphia region's leading business professionals including numerous Wharton and Penn alums.
