The Herd Comes Home

Homecoming 2025 will be celebrated September 25 – 28! We look forward to welcoming alumni, students, families, and friends to campus for a weekend of friendship, celebration, competition, and lots of school spirit. The weekend will offer many opportunities for alumni to interact with our students and faculty, visit favorite and new spaces, and experience our vibrant campus.

Recognizing Reunions for Classes Ending in 0 & 5

Starting in 2025, WPI will now recognize class reunions in the fall during Homecoming!

This change from our traditional spring class reunion celebration will provide more opportunities for you to reminisce about the WPI you remember and learn about the WPI of today. We're creating an exciting new schedule that combines the best of both weekends, plus some new programs you're sure to enjoy.
