Seeking Alumni to Volunteer with the CDC
The CDC teaches a course for undecided first-year students to support the selection of majors and careers, FY1800: Discovering Majors and Careers. As part of this course, each first-year student is matched with a WPI alum to facilitate an informational interview (pdf). The CDC is seeking alumni volunteers who can provide insight about their major at WPI, share information about their career history, discuss their current role, company, and industry, and answer student questions. The time commitment averages 20–30 minutes via phone or Skype—or in person. To sign up, please fill out our survey.
Report-a-Hire Survey
Have you recently hired a WPI student or graduate for a full-time, part-time, internship, or co-op position? Please tell us about it. This information is extremely helpful as we calculate our outcomes statistics for WPI students and recent graduates. Fill out the report-a-hire survey.
