Goat Nation Returns March 24-28!
During last year’s Goat Nation Giving Challenge, we set a new all-time record—surpassing our goal, achieving our highest dollar total ever, and nearly matching our highest donor total. We are grateful for your continued support.
We’re building a winning streak, and it’s all thanks to you. This year, we’re setting our sights even higher on a $200,000 goal!
This funding will not only help us maintain what we are doing (rising costs for a quality NCAA D3 athletic program) but also enhance our efforts to provide the latest technologies, trainings, equipment, experiences and support which are vital to our success in the classroom, community and competition.
The impact goes deep and far - we’re fostering life-long friendships and mentorships, building resilience and confidence, developing leadership, and honoring tradition.
Will you help us keep WPI Athletics strong and take it to the next level?

Lailah Thompson '16
"Being a board member allows me to have an influence and make WPI an even better experience for future generations including my own children. My 6 year old wants to be an engineer like her mom, how can I not ensure WPI continues to be the best place to make that happen.
Being a WPI Alumni Association Board member allows me to stay connected to the school and be a resource for the current students and faculty. I encourage fellow members to join and make a lasting impact on WPI and the future students."
