Mission
The Adam Smith Society is a community of business school students and alumni who believe that business, entrepreneurship, and commerce are wellsprings that keep this country vibrant, creative, prosperous, and free.

Our members are dedicated to exploring the links among the economy, government, and society through rigorous debate and discussion.

The Society aims to build an influential network of future business leaders dedicated to preserving and strengthening the free-market economic system.

In concert with dedicated MBA student leaders, the national office of the Adam Smith Society underwrites and helps to coordinate a series of exclusive on-campus events that give MBA students access to prominent business leaders, academics, journalists, and public officials. Speakers discuss their experiences and offer insights about the connections between successful businesses, the maintenance of our nation’s free institutions, and a robust civil society. The Adam Smith Society also convenes national and regional programming for student members and alumni. We hope to inspire business students to think about their own responsibility in seeing our economic system endure.

Membership Benefits
After the last large financial crisis, popular society did not look upon business leaders with kind eyes. Warranted or not, it is sometimes easy to forget the profoundly positive impacts that free-market thinking and capitalism brought to our world.

As the Tepper Chapter to the Adam Smith Society, we aim to provide Tepper students with the knowledge required to make informed decisions about the role of capitalism in our society. We do not look simply at one side of an argument, but rather we seek to understand multiple perspectives.
