Let’s celebrate our grads from wherever you are!
For Lucas, robotics isn't just an engineering discipline — it's a calling.
That passion started in high school, carried him through a Robotics Engineering degree at WPI, and never stayed inside the classroom. He helped launch an afterschool robotics club at Worcester's Forest Grove Middle School, mentored youth robotics teams, and judged competitions — all while earning his Massachusetts teaching licensure through WPI's Teacher Preparation Program.
Now he's taking that same energy into his planned career as a technology and engineering teacher, where he can spark that same love of robotics in the next generation.
Congratulations, Lucas.

It’s never too late to finish what you start. And for Kerry Lynn, that's not just a saying.
Class of 2026 computer science graduate Kerry Lynn has been working toward his WPI degree for more than 50 years. Along the way, he’s managed family responsibilities and a technology career and never gave up on his goal to complete his degree.
Congratulations, Kerry Lynn. We see you. 🎓 #WPI2026
🎓 Throwing it back to the first steps on the Hill — today, our undergrads take their final walk across the stage. From move-in to MQPs, late-night study sessions to lifelong friendships, it all led to this moment.

🎓 Celebrating the Class of 2026
Meet Paula Gibbons — Worcester native, biomedical engineering major, violinist, and soon-to-be PhD student at UMass Chan Medical School. 🎻🔬
Paula came to WPI with a personal mission to help children through biomedical research, and she leaves having done exactly that — diving into projects, labs, and experiences that shaped her into the scientist and communicator she is today.

Introducing our Class of 2026 Student Commencement Speakers! 🎓
Anjali Nair earned her MS in Information Technology after leaving a career in India to start over at WPI. Her graduate address, "Coming Into Your Own," is a story of courage and reinvention — May 14.
Mena Youssif moved from Egypt to Massachusetts in 2020 and became one of WPI's most dedicated student leaders. His undergraduate address, "We Didn't See It Coming," is one you won't want to miss — May 15.
Congratulations to both! #WPI2026 #WPICommencement
This week in Last Call: Al Sacco Jr.'s fascination with space led him to a career as a NASA astronaut. His career includes WPI as a department head, professor and researcher. More at worcestermag.com
What if AI helped you think, without thinking for you? 🤖
WPI professor Erin Solovey is designing AI that adapts to how people think in real time, using signals like attention and cognitive load to support better decisions. From brain-sensing research to a new course on “thinking with AI,” her work is shaping a future where humans and AI work side by side. Read more in the WPI Journal.
