Increase & Elevate Economic Discourse Beyond Campus
The Wesleyan Business Review (WBR) is a student-run platform amplifying diverse, fact-based perspectives on global finance, business, and the economy. Founded by students, powered by in-depth research, and read by classmates, alumni, and industry leaders nationally — we bridge the gap between campus insight and global commerce.
Our Story
WBR was founded in 2019 by Joshua Ledford ‘20 and Pauline Jaffe ‘20 to serve as a platform for economic, business, entrepreneurship, and financial engagement among the Wesleyan University community. Since its original inception, WBR has grown to become a multi-media publication that offers all things economics, business, entrepreneurship, and finance through print publication, digital publication, podcast, and social media formats.
