Reunion Classes

 

For our undergraduate classes ending in 1 and 6, Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026 is your reunion! In addition to experiences like an Alumni Bridge Crossing and The Homecoming Parade, nearly every event will have opportunities for you to reconnect and celebrate with your classmates and engage with other members of the WPI community. You'll have chances to interact with our students and faculty, visit favorite and new spaces, and experience our vibrant campus.

Interested in being a class reunion ambassador to help us plan your celebration and encourage attendance from your classmates? Contact us at alumni-office@wpi.edu to let us know.

Please ensure that the Alumni & Volunteer Engagement team has your current contact information on file so we can keep you informed of all the plans. If you need to, please update your info here.

Reunion Giving

Each year, alumni honor their WPI education and the friends they made here with a reunion gift. Classes celebrating a reunion compete to reach the highest percentage of class giving and to raise the largest class gift. 

Your class reunion is the perfect time to give back to WPI in a way that is meaningful to you. Learn more about how you can make your gift at wpi.edu/give. You can make your gift through our onine giving form, or as part of your Homecoming & Family Weekend registration.
