Class of 2020 Commencement News
WPI’s Commencement Ceremony dates back to 1871 when the university sent the 16 young men of its very first graduating class out into the world. WPI celebrates the completion of graduate and undergraduate degree requirements with two separate graduation ceremonies.
WPI continues to work on determining a date for the WPI's Class of 2020 Commencement. After being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the university is looking forward to celebrating this important milestone with the undergraduate and graduate classes of 2020, as soon as we can determine an appropriate date that allows for a safe program.
Anticipated Class of 2021 Commencement
The university continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic on our campus events. We are tentatively planning Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2021 in mid- to late-May but have not yet determined final dates. We will communicate directly with the Class of 2021 as soon as we are able.

Celebrating the WPI Class of 2020
When you first crossed Earle Bridge at the beginning of your WPI journey, it was with the knowledge that you’d cross it again on your way to becoming a WPI graduate. And you will. You’ll take the walk through campus to the Quad that’s been years in the making, the one you’ve been waiting for. In the meantime, I hope you’ll take a special one with me today.
