Family Weekend: April 12 and 13

WPI students and their parents, brothers and sisters are invited to take part in a host of activities during Family Weekend, April 12 and 13. Special activities for students and their siblings, age 12 and up, include the Playfair! orientation program and a special showing of Toy Story. Parents can sit-in on select classes or visit the Worcester Common Fashion Outlets, and the whole family can see the Worcester IceCats play the Springfield Falcons at the Centrum that evening.

Saturday's highlights include a welcome address by President Edward Parrish, tours of the newly completed Higgins Laboratories, the WPI Cultural Festival in Harrington Auditorium, and lessons on navigating the World Wide Web. From 3:30 to 5pm, professor and Chemical Engineering Department Head Albert Sacco Jr., will discuss his experiences as a payload specialist aboard the shuttle Columbia. The weekend will conclude with an a cappella festival in Riley Commons that will feature WPI's own Simple Harmonic Motion and six other collegiate groups, and Monte Carlo Night in Harrington Auditorium.
