Wharton Reaches Historic Milestone in Women Admits
Jul 29, 11:04 AM Comments [0]
The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School has made remarkable strides in boosting the number of women admits. Now, for the first time in its 140-year history, women will comprise more than 50% of the incoming first-year class of MBA students.
At nearly 52%, the percentage of women in the MBA Class of 2023 represents a 10% increase over last year. These achievements came because of a years-long effort to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) throughout Wharton. Today, the school is led by Dean Erika James and Deputy Dean Nancy Rothbard, both of whom are the first women ever appointed to their respective roles.

The power and flaws of gamification
By the hand of Katy Milkman.
When you walk 10,000 steps a day, your Fitbit rewards you with a jiggle and some virtual fireworks, giving you a reason to pause proudly and smile. When you practice a foreign language in Duolingo for several days in a row, you gain a “streak” and are encouraged to keep going, giving you extra reason to make the effort to repeat. When companies, teachers, coaches, or apps add features like symbolic rewards, competition, social connections, or fun sounds and colors to make something more playful, they rely on “gamification” to improve the likely otherwise sad experience. I would bet that most apps on your phone use some element of gamification, but we also see gamification in our workplaces and on the part of our health insurers.
