The rope pull at Homecoming 2022

From the Desk of Paula M. Delaney ’75

Dear Alumni,

Thanks to all who joined us on the Hill for The Herd Comes Home, WPI’s Homecoming 2022.

The Crimson and Gray was in full force Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 for a weekend of friendship, celebration, competition, and lots and lots of school spirit. Campus guests were treated to activities ranging from the Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Pep Rally, and Greek BBQ to the highly spirited First Year/Sophomore Rope Pull, the WPI Engineers vs. Merchant Marine football game, and the alumni vs. students Donahue Rowing Center crew races.

Of extra special note during the weekend was the banner presentation for the WPI Women’s National Champion Varsity Eight crew team. Last season, the team became WPI’s first women’s NCAA champions, joining Eric Meerbach ’87 (1986 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf) as the only NCAA champions in school history.

Homecoming Weekend is always a special time to visit campus and join in the collective pride of our great alma mater. Please plan to join us for Homecoming 2023!
