October may be over, but don’t go packing up those jack-o-lanterns just yet—grab some discounted Halloween candy and take a look back at what the WPI community was up to last month, all seen through the lenses of our talented staff photographers.
We welcomed engineering educators and students from 28 different schools to WPI’s campus, hosting the American Society for Engineering Education – Northeast Section (ASEE-NE) regional conference. Over three days, nearly 140 college faculty, staff, and student participants from around the region joined workshops, poster presentations, research paper sessions, and lightning talks. Keynote speakers were Dr. Pamela McCauley from NCSU, who spoke on the role of faculty as mentors and allies to foster success for students from underrepresentd groups, and singer-songwriter and Berklee College of Music professor Livingston Taylor, who reflected on the similarity between a performer connecting with, and caring for, an audience - and an educator connecting with, and caring for, their students.
