These days are designed to give prospective students an opportunity to visit our campus and take a close look at what makes WPI such a unique and special place. Many WPI students, faculty and staff have volunteered to share their enthusiasm for and experiences at WPI with visiting students and parents.
The activities will begin in Riley Commons with a presentation of the WPI Plan. Visitors will then have a student-conducted tour of the campus along with a presentation on student activities and student life. Following the tour, participants will select from various academic department presentations.
The program will also include a luncheon in Riley Commons with music provided by WPI musical groups under the direction of Douglas Weeks. Lunch will conclude with an Admissions and Financial Aid presentation.
The afternoon will consist of options to attend panels concerning cooperative education, career planning and placement and international projects and programs. In addition, visitors may also choose to tour the Nuclear Reactor as well as one of the following departments: Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
The Admissions Office is expecting hundreds of students and parents at each program, so they will be very busy days. Don't be surprised if you're stopped on campus and asked for directions or an "insider's view"!
Anyone having questions regarding the programs or desiring to help with the day's activities should please contact Mike Smith, Assistant Director of Admissions.
