According to job listings on the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) website, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business is seeking a new director of admissions and financial aid. The director, who reports directly to the Wharton Graduate Division Vice Dean, is responsible for designing and implementing a strategic global marketing plan for the MBA program, as well as creating and implementing an admissions and assessment process designed to “yield a diverse and academically superior class,” according to the listing.
According to the GMAC listing, Wharton also hopes to fill an associate director position in the MBA Admissions office that has been open since May 9th.
The director position, which oversees 16 full-time and numerous part-time and student positions, is listed as open as of June 4th, although our sources tell us that the current director or admissions and financial aid, Thomas Caleel, will continue in his present role for the next week or two.
Caleel, a Wharton alum, assumed the role of admissions director in March 2005, following an extensive search. Prior to joining the Wharton Admissions Committee, Caleel worked at Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, a private equity firm in California’s Silicon Valley, where he performed financial analysis for portfolio companies and raised public and private funds across the energy, recycling and life sciences sectors.
As always, we’ll do our best to keep you informed of any new information regarding admissions committee changes as it becomes available.
