Kelly McLaughlin, who had previously been a member of the Wharton admissions team since last June, was recently named director of the Carey JD/MBA Program.

An alumna of the University of Virginia, Ms. McLaughlin gained experience in consulting for Accenture and Deloitte before completing her master’s of education at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and serving as Assistant Director of JD Admissions at Harvard Law School.

The three-year accelerated joint JD/MBA degree program, which launched in 2009 (Almanac September 23, 2008) and was renamed The Francis J. & Wm. Polk Carey JD/MBA Program in 2015 (Almanac March 24, 2015), leverages the resources of Penn Law and Wharton to prepare students to serve as leaders at the intersection of business and law.
