Additionally, camper vehicles/trailers are not permitted on campus unless pre-authorized by the Director of Public Safety.
Guests are not permitted to bring food or beverages (for the purposes of distribution outside of their immediate family) to campus during Homecoming and Family weekend. Random bag and cooler searches may occur for public safety. Many food and beverage options will be available on campus for guests.
Inquiries regarding athletics team gatherings after contests should be directed to WPI’s Department of Athletics at 508-831-5046 or athletics@wpi.edu.
No open containers of alcohol are allowed on campus at any time except within designated event spaces. Guests are not permitted to bring their own alcohol to campus, either for personal consumption or distribution. Again, random bag and cooler searches may occur for public safety.
No smoking is allowed on campus at any time.
Grills or other equipment used for cooking/preparing food, generators, open flames, candles, and fireworks are prohibited on WPI property during Homecoming and Family Weekend.
Ample gathering space and seating will be available on and adjacent to the Quad; therefore, it is requested that guests not bring their own tables, chairs, or tents to campus. WPI staff reserve the right to allow or refuse the use of such materials if they are brought to campus.
WPI asks guests to please keep in mind that Homecoming and Family Weekend is a family-friendly event. Consistent with the policies surrounding all of WPI's large-scale events, we ask that all visitors be respectful of our campus property and policies.
