Wharton Social Impact Initiative and alumnus Bobby Turner, W’84, spearheaded the launch of Turner Social Impact Society in 2014.

As a longtime supporter of social impact activities at Wharton, Turner is an example of using business knowledge for social good. He also helps to inform the ongoing priorities and future direction of the Wharton School as a member of the Board of Overseers.
