Reunion Classes
For all of our classes ending in 0 and 5, Homecoming 2025 is your reunion! In addition to experiences like an Alumni Bridge Crossing, The Homecoming Parade, and our Decades Dance, nearly every event will have opportunities for you to reconnect and celebrate with your classmates. Because it’s Homecoming, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to reconnect with friends from other classes and your WPI community. The weekend will offer many opportunities for you to interact with our students and faculty, visit favorite and new spaces, and experience our vibrant campus.
Interested in being a class reunion ambassador? Contact us at alumni-office@wpi.edu to let us know.
Please ensure that the Office of Lifetime Engagement has your current contact information on file so we can keep you informed of all the plans. If you need to, please update your info here.

Reunion Giving
Each year, alumni honor their WPI education and the friends they made here with a reunion gift. Classes celebrating a reunion compete to reach the highest percentage of class giving and to raise the largest class gift.
Your class reunion is the perfect time to give back to WPI in a way that is meaningful to you. Learn more about how you can make your gift at wpi.edu/give. You can make your gift through our online giving form, or as part of your Homecoming registration.
