A note about alcohol: WPI is very conscious of the possible dangers of alcohol. To provide a healthy and safe environment for students, alumni, and their families, we ask our guests at Homecoming to remember and adhere to Massachusetts Law, which prohibits underage drinking as well as open containers of alcohol (including beer and wine). We request your cooperation and understanding to create a supportive environment for our students and community. Working together, we can make Homecoming a special day for our friends of all ages.
