Countdown to inauguration On Friday, Sept. 20, members of the WPI community will join alumni, friends and honored guests in celebration of the investiture of Edward A. Parrish as WPI's 14th president. Classes have been cancelled to encourage all employees and students to attend all three of the day's events. A luncheon will follow on the Quad. In addition to Parrish, the panelists include Claire Gaudiani, the president of Connecticut College who will also be the keynote speaker at the investiture, and corporate and university executives and administrators. The ceremony marks another milestone in the university's history, and we believe that our selection of the symposium's topic and panelists will make for some lively and thought-provoking discussions both during and after the program.
