The welcome alumni banner on alumni weekend

Alumni Weekend 2022

Alumni Weekend is our favorite time of year, but Alumni Weekend 2022 was extra special. Our alumni family returned to our home on The Hill to revisit favorite campus spots, reunite with friends and classmates, and relive the traditions and memories that made our WPI experience special. It was a perfect time for reminiscing, exploring, and learning about new research on campus.
