Event Schedule
Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026 will be celebrated September 25 – 27! We look forward to welcoming alumni, students, families, and friends to campus for a weekend of friendship, celebration, competition, and lots of school spirit. The weekend will offer many opportunities for alumni to interact with our students and faculty, visit favorite and new spaces, and experience our vibrant campus. For parents, there will lots of time and many ways to experience WPI alongside your student and to dive deeper into what's available to them as students and graudates.
