Ambassadors Help Bring Alumni Back to The Hill

From serving on an advisory board, sharing your expertise as a guest panelist, and judging at a project presentation day, to joining the Alumni Association, Voyagers (formerly Tech Old Timers), or The Women of WPI, there are many ways for alumni to engage with their alma mater back on The Hill.

Reunion Weekend Ambassadors conduct peer-to-peer outreach and encourage attendance at Reunion Weekend, and the impact of those efforts is far reaching. By rallying alumni to Revisit favorite campus spots, Reunite with friends and classmates, and Relive the traditions and memories that make the WPI experience special, ambassadors play a powerful role in growing and strengthening the WPI alumni community.

Sharing why he serves as a Reunion Weekend Ambassador, Joseph McGinn ’74 says, “As a local kid who spent nearly 40 of his 50-plus-year career here in Massachusetts and who is still active
in WPI alumni and other campus activities, I enjoy the opportunity to welcome fellow graduates and alumni back to WPI and its traditions of alumni involvement with today’s students. My dad, Jack Gallagher (CE, 1950) was also a WPI graduate who remained active in his fraternity and alumni events.”

As you may have heard, for the first time ever, Reunion Weekend will be held May 10 and 11 this year, immediately following WPI Commencement ceremonies, and will offer alumni and friends the special opportunity to engage with the university’s newest alumni and their families. If you see a Reunion Weekend Ambassador label on a fellow alumnus/a this year, please be sure to thank them for helping bring alumni back to their home on The Hill.
