The WPI community invites you and your family to Parents Weekend —a unique opportunity to experience a taste of life on the WPI campus. Spend time with your student while participating in exciting campus activities. There’s sure to be something to delight everyone. The schedule describes a variety of events ranging from faculty presentations, to musical and theater performances, to sporting events. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to become better acquainted with WPI and all it offers.
This year we’re pleased to offer the WPI Parents College. Several sessions will be offered on Saturday, providing a great opportunity for you to participate in lively discussions, informative talks, and interesting demonstrations by WPI faculty and students engaged in cutting-edge research. Be sure to peruse some of the session highlights in the schedule. Parents Weekend will also give you and your family the opportunity to participate in area events—visit the acclaimed Worcester Art Museum or see Cirque du Soleil.
