50th Anniversary of the Global Projects Program

Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 Rubin Campus Center Odeum
4 - 6pm 

Please join us April 15 to celebrate 50 years of global engagement! Over the past five decades, WPI’s award-winning Global Projects Program has built bridges across continents, fostered meaningful connections, and made a lasting impact on communities around the world. Here's to the friendships that have blossomed, the partnerships that have flourished, and the shared vision that has guided us. 

Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to celebrate with us. From the perspective of sponsors, faculty, alumni, and administration, we'll reflect on WPI's transformative project-based learning model and the student success and alumni achievements spanning decades. And, as we look to the future, we'll discuss how the program can continue to inspire, innovate, and collaborate, making the world a better place for generations to come.

The Global Projects Program allows WPI students the opportunity to travel off campus to complete academic research projects required for graduation. 1100+ students each year and 85 percent of WPI undergraduates participate in an off-campus project through the Global Projects Program during their time at the university. 

The Global School itself is an embodiment of the importance of international and intercultural research experiences as a key part of STEM education. We continue to commit to collaborating with partners around the world in this enriching experiential learning, which is the basis of global learning and innovation. 

RSVP required by March 28. We hope you are able to attend.
