The Dean of Students Office supports WPI’s vibrant co-curricular experience. We focus on supporting students in engaging in and fostering a positive living and learning environment supported by our extensive network of campus resources. With this foundation in place, students learn how to build an inclusive, welcoming community that encourages belonging.  

We help students grow and develop so they can navigate their academic journeys, personal relationships, and college experiences to be prepared for the diverse world that awaits their talents. We believe in a personalized approach and our team collaborates with students and campus partners to find solutions that fit the particular needs of each student.
