Does your student have questions or need something over the summer? Most offices are still fully operational during the summer months; encourage your student to reach out!

Today is Memorial Day and WPI is closed in observation of the holiday. No classes today and no offices are open. We will resume normal hours tomorrow! 🦅

Summer session classes begin today. Today is the first day of E1 - a five-week summer term. Welcome to the next chapter of learning and exploration!
