Make History. Endow a Scholarship.

Nelda Kacyum W'11, C'11

Nelda applied early to Penn, knowing that the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business would prepare her to have a positive impact on her native Cameroon. "The program allows me to tackle the business issues in conjunction with the complexity of our changing world. If you want to get into a challenging undergraduate business curriculum, Wharton offers you the best in the world."

In her first semester at Penn, Nelda took a job with the Huntsman Program office and joined the Lauder-Huntsman Student International Fund. Nelda has an artistic side, too. As part of the Penn African Performing Arts group, she has found the perfect way to express her creativity.
