John Boynton Young Alumni Award for Service to WPI

This award recognizes those young alumni who demonstrate the qualities of WPI's founder, John Boynton, through their energy, commitment, involvement, and noteworthy service to WPI and/or the WPI Alumni Association. A tinware manufacturer from Templeton, Mass., Boynton challenged the residents of Worcester to join him in establishing the Worcester Free Institute of Industrial Science. His dedication and commitment to his great cause led to the founding of the university in 1865, and it is these qualities that we seek in recipients of this award.
