Community Networks and Outreach

The ALANA (African-American, Latino/Hispanic, Asian, and Native American) Support Network consists of a network of administrators from WPI, Anna Maria College, Assumption College, Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, and Worcester State University that focuses on diversity and inclusion.

Network members share information and resources to support each other and their students. They provide a foundation for a stronger connection between all the ALANA students in the Worcester Consortium of Colleges and Universities so they may meet each other and develop genuine, supportive relationships with each other.

WPI offers an outstanding selection of STEM outreach programs for elementary, middle, and high school students, some of which are listed here.

Middle school students interested in exploring the STEM topic area, alongside undergraduate students, should look into our BOOST programs. Girls Who Code is an international non-profit organization for girls in grades 7-11. The club program at WPI provides girls the opportunity to learn the foundations of computer science while exposing them to positive female role models who are currently involved in the field.
