Alumni Weekend 2023
It was wonderful to welcome so many back to The Hill for Alumni Weekend 2023, as alums returned to revisit favorite campus spots, reunite with friends and classmates, and relive the traditions and memories that made our WPI experience so special. Of the many fun and exciting weekend events, Saturday’s Honoring Our Champions award ceremony was especially meaningful and impactful to all, as the Alumni Association bestowed its notable awards to very deserving alumni.
