Weitzman School and Baker Retailing Center
Executive in Residence
Stuart Weitzman, W'63
Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Stuart Weitzman LLC
November 6 and 7, 2019
Stuart Weitzman, award-winning designer and footwear icon, will be on campus for two days (November 6 and 7) to host multiple student sessions with Penn students. During these sessions, he will discuss how he built his successful global company, including marketing, the value of design, branding, and public relations. Stuart Weitzman’s passion for design has been a lifelong pursuit as he began working in his father’s Massachusetts shoe factory while still in college. After graduating from the Wharton School, Weitzman applied himself to the industry with laser-like focus, eventually building the globally-renowned company that bears his name.
Over the years Stuart has mentored and taught thousands of Penn students, and in recognition of his active engagement in the University’s activities, the School of Design was named for Mr. Weitzman in February 2019. The Executive-In-Residence sessions will be held at the Weitzman School, and are open to all Penn students.
Registration required. Penn students are encouraged to sign up for a session by registering here.
