What is QuakerNet?  \nQuakerNet is a database of Penn graduates and is searchable by industry, employer name, geographical location, major, student clubs, and more. Wharton alumni may also wish to access the Wharton Alumni Directory to connect with the global Wharton alumni network.  \nAccess through link: [https://quakernet.alumni.upenn.edu](https://quakernet.alumni.upenn.edu), and log in using PennKey or WhartonConnect account.  \nII. Pairing QuaketNet with LinkedIn  \nOn QuakerNet, alumni usually provide phone numbers and personal email addresses on their profiles. One drawback is that employment information is sometimes outdated. We recommend that you find the person you are trying to connect on LinkedIn and confirm this information before you contact them.  \nUse search filters wisely. Reaching out to alumni who have similar backgrounds and Penn affiliations usually gets you more responses.  \nIII.
