Celebrating Reunions for Classes Ending in 0 & 5

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

This change from our traditional spring class reunion celebration will provide more opportunities for alumni to interact with our students and faculty, visit favorite and new spaces, and experience our vibrant campus. We will be creating a new schedule that will combine the best of both celebrations and still allow time for reminiscing with friends and classmates. More information on class reunions is coming soon!
