WHARTON LIVE

"Wharton Live", Wharton's implementation of "Penn Live", is the name given to the suite of online services provided to the University of Pennsylvania in partnership with Microsoft. It provides Exchange-based email, Instant Messenger, document sharing and storage, and other services that are useful to Wharton students on the go.  All services are accessible using Wharton account credentials.

First-year students' email accounts are currently hosted by this service, and most student email will eventually be migrated to Wharton Live.  The suite of services will be especially useful for co-curricular and ad-hoc meetings and document-sharing outside the formal structure of online classroom materials.

We encourage you to try out the many services and let us know what you think.  We are continually working with Microsoft to enhance and refine the offerings for Wharton Live, and welcome your feedback.
