Box Gallery

This week, I officially began preparing for the upcoming Box Gallery exhibition! I received a special eco-friendly canvas made from recycled paper, and I had a lot of fun assembling the box myself. (Swipe through the photos to see the building process!) The exhibition is centered around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and I’ll be choosing one of the 17 goals as the theme for my artwork. I haven’t decided exactly what to paint or draw yet, but I’m working hard to brainstorm and develop an idea that feels meaningful and relevant.

With over 466 million deaf people globally, we recognized a significant opportunity not only to address a communication challenge but also to empower an often overlooked workforce.

From exploring financial markets and valuation to working on case studies and stock pitches, each day offered something new and challenging. One of the highlights was hearing from Wharton professors and leaders, including Professor Jules van Binsbergen, whose lecture on asset pricing and long-term investing really stuck with me. We also got to hear from Dean Erika James, which made the experience feel even more connected to Wharton's bigger mission and leadership. For our final project, my team was assigned Evercore for a stock pitch. After a lot of research and back-and-forth, we were honored to receive the “Best Rationale” award—one of four special prizes. I even got a Wharton water bottle as a prize, which now sits on my desk as a reminder of the week. More than anything, this program confirmed my interest in financ...
