The Baker Retailing Initiative is an unseen jewel at Wharton. The retailing classes expand the mind creatively and force analytical skills into overdrive. In the Retail Designscape class, for example, we actually designed an entire store based on a fictitious brand. It was extremely challenging and fun at the same time. The Retailing Initiative brings out the best analytic and creative processes of students in the best business undergraduate program in the U.S.”

As a growing number of Wharton graduates move into the retail industry, the Baker Retailing Initiative has drawn industry alumni into the Retail Alumni network. Through these links, alumni are active in supporting their peers and also have opportunities to interact and engage with current students or participate in activities of the Baker Retailing Initiative. This network offers a platform for students to understand retail opportunities, and for experienced retail professionals to expand their knowledge and opportunities through networking. We invite you to become involved in the alumni network and the expanding activities of the Baker Retailing Initiative.
