Club Board Recruiting
Club board recruiting is happening right now, and it is an exciting time. However, with Wharton being a large school, it is inevitable that rejection will happen at some point. That being said, we have asked clubs to be timely in their response, yes or no, and we believe that everyone should be able to ask for feedback upon request if you are unsuccessful. If any clubs give you a hard time about this, please let WGA know.
