- Small-Group Dinners to connect as a community and try tasty Philly restaurants.
- WHAMBAA Wednesdays so members have a weekly lunch buddy.
- Multi-Club Collaboration Events (e.g. AAMBAA, WAAAM, WHALASA) so members meet more cool people on campus and attend enriching social and panel events.
- Hispanic Heritage Month Events to discuss the Latinx experience and how it varies.
- Dance Classes so members can bust out Salsa moves at the next party.
- End of Year Banquet to send off our beloved MBA 2Ys.
- Community Service Efforts such as mentoring, resume reviews, and more.
- Etc. Etc. Etc. because there are many other ways to get involved with WHAMBAA! We connect with prospective students during diversity events, orientation weekends, and club pub events.
