Admissions activities for WPI's Class of 2002 are in full swing. The Office of Admissions is currently preparing for the third Open House this year. The program is scheduled for today.
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 Harrington Auditorium with a presentation of the WPI Plan. Visitors will then have the opportunity to attend multiple academic presentations and academic department tours as well as tours of the campus, residence halls, and the Music and Theater departments. Presentations from Admissions, Financial Aid, CDC and Global Programs will take place throughout the morning.
ROTC and Athletics will be featured in the afternoon, after lunch. Throughout the day, families can stop by the Lower Wedge which will be converted to a "drop-in center". Representatives from Residential Services, Student Activities as well as Admissions and Financial Aid, among other offices, will be available to speak one-on-one with visitors.
Don't be surprised if you're stopped on campus and asked for directions or for an "insider's view". Anyone with questions regarding the program or desiring to help with the day's activities should contact Melisssa Allen, Assistant Director of Admissions (ext. 5286).
