The History of Wharton Club of Shanghai
Wharton Club of Shanghai was firstly established on 27th
December, 1987. The first Chairman is Mr. Zhang Zhen
Ph.D'45, the professor of Management College of SJTU
University. The first vice chairman is Mr. Yang Xishan,
the honorable dean of Management College of SJTU
University. There were only 14 members at that time, most
of them are elder alumni graduated from Wharton in 1940s.
The main purpose of establishing the Wharton Club of
Shanghai is to build a channel for the exchange
between/among the school, the alumni in Shanghai and the
alumni from other regions.
 Mr. Wang Xi was elected as the second chairman in December
1995. He is professor of Fudan University, the director of
Sino-American relationship research program. He is also
the vice president of shanghai office General of
Re-assurance. Several alumni parties have been held since
the establishment of the Wharton Club of Shanghai. The
participation were not only from more alumni, but from
government officials, noted scholars and the members of
Wharton-Jiaotong joint program. Meng Jianzhu, the vice
mayor of Shanghai was the honorable chairman of the alumni
club. Other honored guests were Mr. Zhu Xiaoming, the
director of foreign economic relations and trade
commission, Mr. Jeffrey Sheehan, associate dean of
international affairs of the Wharton School.
To promote the exchange among alumni and to build the
presence of the club, Wharton Club of Shanghai not only
held alumni parties but also organized various activities,
including the coordination for Mr. Meng JianzhuˇŻs visit to
Wharton School in Philadelphia. In May 1996, it held the
joint seminar ˇ° the Management of corporate companyˇ± with
McKinsey and Shanghai International Trust Investment
Company. In August 1996, it invited Prof. Michael Useem,
Prof. Jitendra Singh, the senior professors from Wharton
to hold seminar. The 4th Asian Regional Alumni Meeting
During 30th to 31st May 1997 was a great success. Besides,
the club offered the help to the admission office of the
Wharton School on its promotion, recruitment and interview
in Shanghai. Since October 2000, we helped to organize the
admission receptions presented by Ms. Rosemaria Martinelli,
director of admission office in Regal International East
Asia Hotel every time a year.
Since the establishment of Wharton club of Shanghai, it
has not only organized activities for alumni in Shanghai
to communicate, but also been a bridge between Shanghai
and the Wharton School, between the alumni in Shanghai and
in the world.
