“We are grateful for this support from UBS,” said Dr. Patrick T. Harker, dean of the Wharton School. “This gift is a testament to the partnership between Wharton and UBS.”
Robert Wolf, chief operating officer of UBS Investment Bank, and a 1984 Wharton alumnus, said that “UBS is proud to sponsor the UBS Admissions Suite at the Wharton School, as it allows us to strengthen the relationship between UBS and Wharton and confirms our commitment to attracting top-tier MBA talent.”

The company also is a very active recruiter of Wharton students.
