Two highlights this week at @Wharton! Monday: @PennMBB game at the Palestra. Loved introducing these undergrads to Big 5 basketball and hosting a Q&A with @PennAthletics student-athletes. Tuesday: MBA Pub, another student life staple. Made it just in time for the Chili Cookoff!

This milestone represents so much of what has propelled @Wharton as a business education pioneer. It would not be possible without the extraordinary vision & generosity of Dr. Bruce I. Jacobs, who extended his decades-long commitment to advancing financial education & research.

Today we turn a new page in @Wharton's 144-year history. The Dr. Bruce I. Jacobs Master of Science in Quantitative Finance (MSQF) program marks our first new degree offering in 50 years – and signals both where the finance industry is headed and how we intend to lead its future.

This back-to-school season, I want students to focus on the power of listening. Here's part of what I shared with @Wharton students in welcoming them to campus at orientations this year. You lead not only by what you're prepared to say, but also by what you're willing to hear.

I loved Peter's simple framing for what it means to feel valued at work. There are few, if any, people more equipped to explore the issues surrounding the workplace than him. I've learned so much from sitting down with @Wharton faculty as part of this @WhartonKnows series.

This was evident during my conversations with three extraordinary people, @VKhosla, @JackieReses and @DanielLurie, who provided thought-provoking lenses on leadership in times of transformation. I left energized and enriched – and I know the hundreds who joined me feel the same.

Few places embody boldness and innovation like San Francisco, which made it the perfect setting for the 57th #WhartonForum. Events like this remind me of @Wharton’s greatest strength: You – the global network we mobilize to help us stay on the leading edge of business education.

Four #WhartonGrad ceremonies mixed with #WhartonReunion... always a highlight weekend of the @Wharton year! I am blown away by the strength in numbers we have in our network. Congrats to the Class of 2025, and a heartfelt thanks to the many familiar faces who returned to campus.

When we launched @WhartonAIAI last year, I kept coming back to this: Over its 150-year history, @Wharton has consistently met the moment. This is yet another example. I have no doubt that our faculty, students, and alumni will further cement Wharton as THE place to study AI.

In a world fraught with division, it's been needed reprieve – a reminder of the power of being united, focusing on what brings us together rather than what separates us. So while it's only a game, as we celebrate, here's to hoping we can all bottle up this energy. 💚🦅 #GoBirds

While I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan (I know, I know, but hear me out...), I cheered for the @Eagles yesterday. After 5 years in Philly, I can say I’ve never seen a city that comes close to the ride-or-die mentality of Eagles fans. It’s impossible not to get swept up in the fandom.

While AI is transforming so much around us, for the most part we can’t actually SEE it. Does that reality lead to mistrust? That’s the question I posed to @ReidHoffman at @Wharton's Tarnopol Dean’s Lecture, “Embracing AI with Vision and Purpose": https://t.co/697wD77lma
