Have a question and don’t know who to ask? Chances are the answer is in Gompei’s Guide, a student resource guide written for students by students.
Stay in the Loop with Campus Happenings
There’s a lot going on at WPI, and just as many ways for you to stay on top of upcoming events. The WPI mobile app offers instant access to all things WPI; MyWPI is the place to go to get involved in clubs; and the University Calendar is regularly updated with campus-wide events (including athletics games). Be sure to check your email regularly for information from various departments and offices, as well as Herd Highlights, a biweekly newsletter featuring a roundup of deadlines, important dates, announcements, and more.
Parent Resources
As a student, you aren’t the only one who may need some resources and guidance as you begin your college experience. We've put together a webpage specifically for your parents or guardians to support them in this exciting process, as well.
We can’t wait to welcome you to campus this weekend! |
