About Alumni Awards
WPI alumni have made and continue to make remarkable contributions to our global society. They give back generously of their time, talent, and treasure to their alma mater and to their communities. The WPI Alumni Association recognizes alumni each year for their professional achievements and service to the university, Alumni Association, and communities. The Association established awards in 1961 for this purpose; they have been updated and adjusted over the years to reflect the alumni body.
