Harker The attacks on New York and Washington have stunned the world. The magnitude of the devastation and sheer barbarism of these acts utterly defy explanation. Our community has been deeply affected by this tragedy. In the coming days and weeks, we will begin to learn just how many alumni, family members, colleagues and associates have been personally touched -- and as a community, we mourn their loss. We are in the process of setting up means by which our alumni can share information relevant to the whereabouts of themselves, their classmates, families and friends, as well as links to other sites where information may be available. Information will be available on the School's website at http://www.wharton.upenn.edu. Additional information regarding the University of Pennsylvania's efforts for students, alumni, families, faculty and staff is available at http://www.upenn.edu/emergencyinfosite. These are times that challenge us all to reckon with the impact that such unfathomable events have in our ability to move forward. As an institution -- and as a worldwide community -- Wharton faces this task as well. The Wharton School, from its founding and throughout its 120-year history, has had a singular educational mission: to create leaders. Generations of men and women from all over the world have come to the Wharton School to prepare for leadership in the global society. Wharton alumni are leaders of vision, of passion and of the highest moral character. An essential quality of their service to the world is their deep respect for views of others and their commitment to unity and cooperation. Their contributions to the economic and social advancement of humankind have consistently built a better future for the generations that follow. What is clear and certain in the wake of these attacks is that the mission of this institution is more important than ever. We cannot falter in our ultimate purpose. We must continue to offer today's - and tomorrow's - students the opportunities to grow into leaders and to take on the mantle of global responsibility that is the hallmark of all of our alumni throughout the world. While we rededicate ourselves to our global mission of service and leadership, we must also serve each other in this difficult time. Above all, this is a tragedy of personal, human impact. We must console each other in our grief and join together in a spirit of healing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and our entire Wharton community around the world. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% * REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS * If you would like to be removed from future mailings, please select REPLY.
