Luck of the Goats!
Hi everyone! At WPI we are pretty fortunate that industries look at us very favorably and in turn, we receive fairly healthy salaries. Frequently our average starting salary is within the top 10 in the country! Recently the Class of 2016’s Post-Graduation report was released.

My Final Words
There is no doubt that I have grown as an individual since coming to WPI, and subsequently becoming a Peer Advisor at the Career Development Center (CDC). As Maya Angelou said, “I did then what I knew what to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” In under a year I have been […]

The Time Is Now…
The time is now… right? I don’t have a watch that looks like that.. but if I did, I would be even more stressed and probably be late a lot. But let’s not be so literal. What I mean is, don’t let procrastination get the best of you during these busy weeks – especially with […]
Career Fair, Deadlines, and Coffee
