COMMITTEES
W-KUBS Committees
The Wharton Korea Undergraduate Business Society is run through a set of committees that work together to support the organization’s operations, programming, and community. These committees include Internal Relations, External Relations, Business Analysis, Consulting, Marketing, Professional Development, Business Black Box and Upperclassmen Mentorship. Each committee focuses on a specific area — from strengthening member engagement and building partnerships to producing analytical projects, consulting work and professional resources for members. By collaborating closely across these functions, the committees collectively ensure that KUBS operates smoothly while providing meaningful academic, professional and community-building opportunities for its members and alumni.
Internal Relations
The Internal Relations committee acts as a hub for the organization as a whole. Our main priority involves promoting camaraderie across committees, groups, and grades. Every month, we plan 2-3 social events for the club for this purpose. Whether it be casual excursions to Center City, study sessions, or formals, our committee is in charge of organizing these events and keeping our professional society, well, fun. In addition, we host other initiatives to keep people connected. For example, every year we run a big/little program and monthly dinners with board members. If you’re joining Internal Relations, you will really be at the center of our club and gain experience in event planning and community management while being uniquely positioned to contribute to W-KUBS in a creative manner.

Business analysis
The Business Analysis committee is a unique part of W-KUBS in that we engage in researching and analyzing diverse finance-related materials. Our aim is to foster learning about the global economy and financial markets both inside and outside of W-KUBS. Some of our core projects include facilitating weekly educational meetings where members would learn metrics outside of Wharton’s curriculum and writing equity pitch reports for Korean companies, allowing our members to get a first-hand experience in company valuation, DCF models, and the distinctive features of Korean industries. To solidify our learning, we encourage members to participate in stock pitch competitions.

professional development
The Professional Development Committee is W-KUBS’s pre-professional hub, designed to empower students as they transition into their collegiate and professional journeys. The committee aims to bridge knowledge gaps and correct common inefficiencies that students face when navigating both early career exploration and future workplace readiness. Throughout the year, PD hosts a wide range of high-impact events, including: resume and cover letter workshops; panels featuring Wharton MBAs and industry professionals; and committee social outings/networking events. In addition, students in PD will contribute to and maintain a working internship database for finance, consulting, and technology opportunities, as a shared resource for compiling firm-specific insights.
