Alumni Awards

alumni awards certificate frames

Each year, the WPI Alumni Association presents awards to a select group of alumni in recognition of their professional achievements and their service to the university and the Alumni Association. First established in 1961 by the Alumni Association, with additions and changes made over the years to reflect the changing alumni body, these awards are sometimes also presented to other members of the WPI community, such as faculty, staff, trustees, and other friends.
