Power. Politics. Paparazzi.
President Parrish, Senator Kennedy, and Congressman McGovern
Cameras flashed and politicians held forth at the public launch of WPI's Bioengineering Institute in late April (the institute was inaugurated in July 2002). Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's inspiring address lauded the vision of BEI as a catalyst for economic growth by facilitating the conversion of research into new products and new companies in the region. Above, President Parrish is flanked by Kennedy and Congressman James P. McGovern, who has been instrumental in developing plans for Gateway Park, a 55-acre parcel close to campus. Its magnet tenant is BEI; there's also room for complementary businesses and retail shops.
