As the university magazine for WPI, the WPI Journal celebrates the university’s academic and research excellence and the accomplishments and achievements of our community, including students, faculty, and alumni. Through in-depth features, profiles, and human interest stories, the Journal demonstrates how a WPI education that balances theory with practice prepares our students to have a positive impact on the world.
The print magazine is published four times a year by University Marketing Communications. The digital complement to the magazine, wpi.edu/+journal, is updated regularly throughout the year.
