Dan Zwirn Holds Chat with M&T Club

Dan Zwirn conducted his undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania in the Moore School of Electrical Engineering as well as The Wharton School.


Combining Penn Engineering and The Wharton School is the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology (M&T). Students in M&T can obtain degrees from both schools concurrently. Dan Zwirn received a B.S. in Economics and a B.A.S. in Computer Science from the schools in 1993. On October 16, Zwirn visited campus and conducted a coffee chat with students and staff of the M&T Club.


Dan Zwirn discussed his life after Penn, which included his previous stint as Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of D.B. Zwirn & Co. where he generated nearly $3 billion in gross profits. Zwirn is now the Managing Member of Zwirn Family Interests, LLC and Arena Investors, LLC.


The M&T Club has the following mission:

  •  To serve as a representative forum for M&Ts
  •  To foster and develop a sense of community among M&Ts
  •  To facilitate ties between current and alumnus M&Ts
  •  To create, promote and increase academic and professional opportunities for M&Ts
  •  To enhance relationships between M&Ts and the wider Penn community

With the clever tag line "It feels like two degrees in here...," the M&T Club organizes events and creates relationships within the M&T community. M&T alumni have  started companies such as Stubhub, Traffic.com and Register.com. With over 1800 alumni, there is a great deal of interaction between students and alumni which the M&T Club seeks to capitalize on.
