How To Whitelist Wharton Communications

Please add Wharton Executive Education to your email contacts

To ensure that the email we send you ends up in your inbox, and isn’t mistakenly sent to the junk folder, please whitelist our email address, which is execed@wharton.upenn.edu.

Below is information on how to whitelist us with Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. Even if your ISP or email program is not listed, with these instructions you should be able to figure out how to whitelist our email address at any ISP or with any email program.

Also, if you find email from execed@wharton.upenn.edu in your spam or junk folder, please take that opportunity to tell your mail program that it is not spam by hitting the “not spam,” “not junk,” or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.
