Welcome. EMTM InSITE is for prospective and current students, sponsors, alumni and others interested
in Penn's Executive Master's in Technology Management (EMTM). In each issue, we cover timely admissions information, program
highlights and personal perspectives from EMTM students, alumni and faculty. We hope this gives you an inside look at how combining the
strengths of Penn Engineering and Wharton offers a true "degree of difference" and lifelong value in preparing leaders who can bridge
technology and management. We appreciate your interest and welcome your feedback.
