HOW TO JOIN

 

WUDAC welcomes all undergraduates, regardless of school, and hosts events throughout the semester that are open to everyone. To stay up to date with our workshops, events, and other opportunities, join the WUDAC listserv to become a General Body Member.

General Body Members can attend WUDAC events and learn data science through WUDAC’s Analytics 101 Program and consult for WUDAC’s partner companies through the Analytics 202 Program.

In addition to becoming a GBM, there are 3 other ways to enhance your involvement:

  1. Join a Committee: Applications will be accepted for the Education, Events, and Marketing committees through our centralized application on Penn Clubs.

  2. Apply for Wharton Analytics Fellows (WAF): This enables students to gain real-world analytics experience through consulting projects with companies.

  3. Apply for the Executive Board: Members with great event attendance and committee involvement have the best chance of joining the Executive Board.
