We can’t wait to welcome you to WPI!

We understand that the transition to college can be an exciting yet challenging experience. That's why we offer a range of orientation programs designed to ensure your seamless integration into the WPI community. Our week-long residential bridge programs, Connections Pre-Orientation and International Orientation, takes place in August just before New Student Orientation (NSO) and the Insight Program. Both Connections and International Programs are tailored to support eligible new and first-year students, providing valuable assistance as you make the transition from high school to college. 

Get ready to kick-start your WPI experience and create connections that will last a lifetime!
