COVID-19 Resources & Updates Read More

WPI has cancelled alumni events, on campus and throughout the world, through April 30 in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation. In addition, Alumni Weekend is cancelled, and Reunion celebrations for classes ending in 0 and 5 are postponed. Alden Society Luncheon, held during Alumni Weekend, is also cancelled.

As of March 17, WPI is no longer permitting visitors to campus. All WPI employees who are able to work from home, including University Advancement staff, have been asked to do so. Please do not come to campus during this time. Advancement staff are available by phone and email during regular office hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. You can contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni-office@wpi.edu, 508-831-5600, for assistance.

We will keep you informed of any changes this spring.

WPI is Here for You

While we may not be able to come together in person, we’re hard at work (remotely, of course) finding and creating ways that you can continue to learn new things and engage with the WPI community like you always have. It is our hope that our Virtual Intersession provides you with inspiration, enrichment, and entertainment during this unsettled time.

Through Virtual Intersession you can find tips and tricks for personal wellness, ideas for keeping your kids busy, career advice, inspirational stories about how the WPI community is participating in the fight against COVID-19, and much more.

Whether you’re working remotely, homeschooling, or practicing social distancing, through technology, we can still easily connect, and you can still be part of the WPI alumni network and programming that you’ve grown to love.

Building the Hill Together

The Foisie Innovation Studio and Residence Hall, as pictured in this architectural rendering, is named to honor WPI's most generous benefactor, Robert A. Foisie '56—but it also pays homage to the university's growing tradition of philanthropy.
