Originally from San Francisco, California, Oscar has been stationed in Alameda, California; Manama, Bahrain; Naples, Italy; San Diego, California; and Newport, Rhode Island. Oscar’s passion for learning drove him to enroll in the Tepper School, concentrating in operations, strategy and finance.

“I think the Tepper School is a good fit for people who are in the military or are veterans because of the quantitative rigor in academics, the leadership emphasis, and the sense of a small, tight knit, and familial community,” Oscar said. “In the military, we learn valuable leadership lessons and have many opportunities to develop our interpersonal skills. A school such as Tepper allows us to hone our business skills while stressing the importance of data analytics in our decision making process. Tepper also places an equal importance on leadership, which allows us to continue to develop as leaders.”

Oscar is the executive vice president of the Tepper School’s Latin American Business Club, vice president of marketing for the Sports Business Club and vice president of special projects for the Tepper Veterans Club. #TepperVets #MilitaryAppreciationMonth

The air in Penn’s iconic Palestra was thick with excitement on May 26 as the members of WEMBA 42 piled onto the court for a mystery group activity.
