Great Minds at Work:
A Community Where You Belong

 

Growth, Innovation, Excitement, and Community

WPI is a community. Problem solvers. Game changers. Everyday heroes. So much comes together to create the truly distinctive WPI culture. It begins with pride—the pride that comes from a sense of accomplishment, and the recognition that what we do here makes a real difference to our society and our future.

The WPI culture is distinctive. Ongoing personal growth and professional development opportunities ensure that we never stop learning and discovering. Diverse cultural events feed the spirit, and fitness programs keep the body strong. Work-life balance fosters a healthy and positive attitude while cross-campus partnerships and cooperation builds an appreciation for everyone’s contribution. We are all focused on using the brainpower on WPI's campus to make the world a better place. 

WPI’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is so firm that a university-wide initiative, Project Inclusion, is thriving.

These varied experiences add to the richness of the educational experience offered here. We encourage you to be part of our community.
