WPI’s Women’s Impact Network (WIN) is a women-led philanthropic organization committed to the continuous advancement of women in STEM across WPI's local and global community. Through the generous support of WIN donors, WIN can grant funds to deserving students, faculty, and staff who are making a difference on and off campus through outreach, empowerment, educational, wellness, and mentorship initiatives.
All members of the WPI community are invited to join us on Saturday, March 23 to recognize this year’s WIN Impact Grant recipients and to see the impact of philanthropy first-hand by engaging with past and current-year grant recipients during a brunch reception. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet President Grace Wang and learn about her strategic priorities for the university.
