GREETINGS FROM THE WASA FAMILY!

We are excited and opportune to be leading WASA in this exciting milestone year! Yes, this is 30!
Over the last 30 years, WASA has continued to establish itself as the focal point for Africa-related activities in the Wharton School of Business and we plan to do even more of that this year.

Our Vision

To enhance WASA member’s Wharton experience by deepening our internal community and external partnerships through intentional programming.

Our Strategic Imperatives

  • Community Building: We will build a more spirited community by increasing engagements with current students, alimni and prospective students.

  • Enhance WASA’s Positioning: We will further integrate WASA into the Wharton & Upenn community by providing value and enhance our external image through increased marketing and outreach.

  • Improve Internal Operations: We will create structures that last to enable every WASA board have a springboard to begin their tenure and provide ease for them

We invite you to attend the 30th Annual Wharton Africa Business Forum (WABF) (one of the largest annual conferences at Wharton) to experience the power of this network for yourself. Themed Homecoming: Looking Inward, Looking Forward, this year’s conference is one that should not be missed. It’s a time to reunite with Alum & old friends while forming new connections. We will convene business leaders, public officials, young professionals, and other brilliant minds for engaged discussion on challenging topics relevant to the continent. All this, of course, will be followed by a celebration designed for peak enjoyment! You don’t want to miss it!

We, our executive team, and our conference co-chairs are all passionately committed to Africa’s progress. We imagine that many of you are too. Please feel free to connect with us through this site, via email, on social media (LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook), and/or in-person at WABF. You’re part of the extended family!

Yours in Service,

Bukola & Martha
