Under a brilliant May sun, a trio of young alumni tossed around a bean bag on the Quad, relaxing and sharing stories in proximity to a futuristic glass structure, new since their time as students.

“I had never seen this building before,” said Christopher Montero ’18 of the Center for Engineering, Innovation and Sciences (CEIS). “It’s amazing, and it’s part of the recent changes that I wanted to find on campus.”

Montero and his friends, Shirshak Sharma ’18 and Andy Tenhagan ’18, had returned to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology’s inaugural Alumni Day, which featured multiple tours and hands-on demonstrations, academic information sessions, a cocktail reception, and a special luncheon that brought back student-athletes for the Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony.

The group on the Quad had come from the Breakfast with the Deans event and several informational sessions before heading outside for lawn games. Each was eager to see firsthand how their alma mater had progressed, as well as reconnect with friends.

“It’s been fun to see the changes, and I really wanted to hear more about future plans,” said Sharma.
