Description
For our Senior Class Gift, our class chose to fundraise for a hammocking space near the new academic building. This initiative will promote a positive campus atmosphere as well as provide a space for students to spend time outside in fresh air and meet with others outside of an academic setting. COVID showed us the importance of gathering outside for our mental and physical well-being. This gift will allow future classes the ability to do just that.
We did it! Together, the Class of 2022 raised over $19,000 and we’ll receive a $20,000 match towards the class project! This is thanks to the Priem Trustee Challenge, which was created in 2002 to inspire senior class giving and participation, making this the 20th anniversary!
There's still time left to participate and donate to the senior class gift. For information on donating to other programs and priorities, please visit the main WPI Giving page.
Thank you for helping to show our appreciation for the institution that has given us so much.

Why are donations necessary?
WPI is a nonprofit institution that relies on donations from generous alumni and friends to provide our education. As students, we have all benefited from the generosity of others, and now is the time to start giving back. Students at WPI have been leaving their legacy through a Senior Class Gift for more than 100 years. Now it’s our turn to take part in that tradition! Your support with help the Class of 2022 leave a legacy at WPI with a hammocking space for students.
