Publicizing Your Event

Posting Events on SPIKE
 The on-line, or SPIKE calendar (as it is more commonly known) is the central source for events (including recruiting, club meetings, speakers, conferences, etc.). Use this calendar to publicize your events at Wharton. You can view the calendar on the monitors at the Walnut Street and Locust Walk entrances to JMHH, and in the MBA Café and Baker Forum, also in JMHH.

To post an event on the SPIKE calendar, please go to the SPIKE homepage and click on the "Calendar" tab to submit an event. NOTE: All WGA Clubs have one assigned SPIKE Calendar Administrator. This Calendar Administrator can view all events posted on SPIKE, both public and private. If you are scheduling an event on behalf of your club you should ask your SPIKE Calendar Administrator to do this for you instead. Doing so will give you a better idea of what other MBA events you are scheduling against, and the number of students that may be affected by conflicts.

SPIKE Images (My Life@ Wharton section)
To advertise your event on the My Life@Wharton section, please e-mail a PowerPoint slide (.ppt) or .jpg image to mbaprogram@wharton.upenn.edu. The image will run for up to one week preceding your event.  All images must be approved by the MBA Program Office.
