Please join Dean Geoffrey Garrett and Nicolai Tangen, W’92, for the premiere episode of a special Wharton Webinar Series themed around our More Than Ever campaign.

A citizen of Norway and a student of the world, Nicolai served in the Norwegian Armed Forces’ School of Intelligence and Security and holds master’s degrees in both the history of art and social psychology, in addition to his Wharton undergraduate degree in finance. Tangen Hall, a new building on Penn’s campus dedicated to student entrepreneurship, will bear his name, and he is a passionate supporter of scholarships for international students at Wharton. Nicolai also serves on the School’s Board of Overseers and our Campaign Cabinet.
