A Few Notes About Today’s CeremonyIn a practice inaugurated in 2016, WPI is awarding undergraduate and graduate degrees at separate spring Commencement ceremonies. Master and PhD degree ceremonies are Wednesday, May 19; Bachelor degree ceremonies are on Thursday and Friday, May 20-21.

Several longstanding campus traditions infuse the WPI spirit, two of which will be in evidence during today’s Commencement ceremony. Crossing Earle Bridge is one of the oldest. To visitors, the bridge is a lovely pathway connecting the east and west sides of campus. For WPI students, the span plays a symbolic role at the start and end of their undergraduate careers. Traditionally, students cross the bridge as an entire class only twice during their four years: at Convocation, when they are welcomed as first-year students, and at Commencement, as they process toward the Quadrangle.

Another tradition involves the WPI seal in the center of the Quad. Throughout their years, students make a point of walking around the seal, for it is said that students who step directly on the landmark won’t graduate on time. That this tradition is upheld is most evident during the snowy winter months. After years of avoidance (not to mention hard work and intense studying), each graduate will walk directly over the seal as part of today’s ceremony.

The Senior Class Gift campaign was led by gift committee chairs Joe Howell and Julia Vanderstreet. The Senior Class raised more than $20,000 with 32 percent participation from the class. This year’s gift will support making our campus a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable community—it proposes a mural that illustrates these values and how they impact our students. It will celebrate the diversity of our campus population and the strength and achievement that diversity brings to our community.

We are grateful for the Susan S. and Windle B. Priem ’59 Senior Class Gift Challenge. Win passed away last August, but his legacy will live on forever at WPI.

Processional and Recessional—Graduates wind through the campus, cross Earle Bridge, follow the sidewalk past Alden Memorial, move onto the walkway behind Bartlett Center, turn at the Proud Goat statue (which students may pat for good luck), and proceed up the center aisle.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the marchers move down the center aisle and proceed as a group toward the Sports and Recreation Center. Guests are asked to not block the progress of the processional or recessional. It is especially important to keep the center aisle clear so marchers may make their way to and from their seats.

Due to COVID, faculty will be lined up around the boynton circle, not the bridge. As the processional begins, members of the faculty, attired in colorful robes and hoods, line both sides of Earle Bridge to pay tribute to the graduates as they cross the bridge for the final time before receiving their diplomas.

This year’s honorary marshal for the graduate ceremonies is Jagan Srinivasan, Outstanding Scholar and Researcher of the Year 2020, and for the undergraduate ceremonies is Esther Boucher, Teacher of the Year 2021.

President Leshin wears the Presidential Medallion, with the WPI seal cast in silver and the names and years of service of all 16 presidents engraved on small silver plates that form links in the chain. Provost Soboyejo carries the Academic Mace, a 42-inch staff made from fluted cherrywood and topped with a circular silver pedestal on which sits a large silver medal with the WPI seal on each side.

Photos and Videos—The pictures taken today will be treasured mementos. The following information should help our guests get the shots they want.

Photos before the ceremony: Students may take a photo with their professors before the ceremony during line-up. Faculty members will walk along the line of students for photos.

Photos during the ceremony: Guests may not leave their seats during the ceremony, out of respect for the audience, and due to COVID-19 restrictions. This will be strictly enforced.

PLEASE NOTE: We know that parents and guests want that perfect picture! WPI will be providing each student two digital photos taken by a professional photograph (GradImages). One photo will be when they receive their diploma from President Leshin, and the second photo will be at Stage Right, where they may remove their mask and pose with their diploma.

For more information about the photo service, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-261-2576, email [email protected], or check online at gradimages.com.

WPI videotapes and streams live all the ceremonies from several vantage points. A complete, high-quality video of each ceremony will be available for downloading within two weeks at wpi.edu/+Commencement.

Info at Your Fingertips—One of the best ways to get the information you’re looking for about Commencement week is to download the WPI Mobile App to your smartphone or tablet. You will find items to help navigate campus and stay informed about Commencement. You may even get a front-row seat to the various ceremonies by watching our live video streams. After Commencement, use the WPI Mobile App to stay connected to all things WPI. The app is available on the iTunes Store and Google Play, or you may download it at wpi.edu/+mobile.

Follow Commencement exercises on Twitter @WPICommencement and Instagram @WPI. Share your memories with #wpi2021.

This award is made to the most meritorious seniors at the university. It was established by Stephen Salisbury II, a WPI founder and the first president of the Board of Trustees.

Two Towers PrizeMark Bray, Biomedical Engineering (awarded 2020)In keeping with the original purposes of the founders of WPI, the Two Towers Prize is awarded to students who, through general academic competence, campus leadership, regular course work, and special work in research and projects, best exemplify a combined proficiency in the theoretical and practical union that is at the heart of the WPI educational tradition. This prize was established by Mildred M. Tymeson Petrie, author of TWO Towers, WPI’s centennial history, published in 1965.
