The Student Alumni Society (SAS) is the keeper of Gompei! To request that Gompei makes an appearance at your event, please fill out this form at least 2 weeks in advance of your event. If you have any questions, you can reach SAS at sasexecboard@wpi.edu.
SAS encourages participation in the long-standing and rich history of WPI traditions. SAS helps keep these traditions alive by sponsoring, planning and running various campus activities and special events throughout the school year for students, alumni, faculty, staff and parents.
SAS members are easily recognized on campus in their red-and-white striped rugbies. They cheer for the Engineers at athletic events, bring goats to campus and give away T-shirts and cake on Founders’ Day, give everyone a free fright at Haunted Higgins House each Halloween, throw a huge birthday party for WPI’s beloved mascot Gompei in February, and run WPI’s most cherished traditions such as the first-year Earle Bridge Crossing and the Goat’s Head Rivalry events.
