Dear Alumni,
In the previous WPI Journal, I invited you to reflect on your WPI experience and contemplate how the university and your WPI education have impacted your life. Today, I invite you to join me in looking forward to the future that I and the Alumni Association Board hope to achieve for the WPI alumni community.
Founded more than 100 years ago by a small group of alumni to promote general interest in education and to strengthen ties with the university and each other, the WPI Alumni Association continues this work today while also developing new ways to serve alumni and students.
Below, I have outlined strategic steps the Alumni Association Board has planned to meet our overarching objective of increasing meaningful alumni engagement with the university:
– Increase alumni connections by doubling social media engagement
– Increase alumni volunteering and event participation
– Develop and launch a “Welcome to the City” program for alumni
– Elevate our collective network through alumni engagement
– Demonstrate the impact WPI alumni have on the world by promoting alumni accomplishments
– Strengthen the alignment of Alumni Association resources in support of our mission
– Leverage Alumni Association committees to identify annual priorities and areas of focus
– Align Alumni Association Board effort and discussions on strategic goals and priorities
As the Alumni Association continues to seek ways to perpetuate WPI’s cherished traditions and inspire pride in the WPI community, we ask you to partner with us on this mission, by sharing your time, treasure, and talent with our beloved alma mater.
