“At its heart, a Wentworth education is about making connections; in fact, the value of our program is closely tied to the value of the connections we offer students.” Zorica Panti´c , ee, ph.d. President
Dear friends, here at wentworth, we build things. Every day

we innovative and create, prototype and prove. As you no doubt are aware, any machine, any complex invention, comprises a set of discrete parts that are only useful when they are thoughtfully connected to other parts. Any Wentworth student will tell you the importance of making such connections. At its heart, a Wentworth education is also about making connections; in fact, the value of our program is closely tied to the value of the connections we offer students. For example, we provide a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. We require a minimum of two co-op experiences. We have a strong alumni network and partnerships with leading organizations and institutions. Within Wentworth and through connections we have cultivated outside our campus are diverse opportunities for our students to receive support and achieve career success. Our formula is working. Here are just a few of the many highlights we celebrated over the past year:

This issue of the President’s Report spotlights some of the unique connections that have emerged recently in the Wentworth universe. You will read remarkable stories of how Wentworth faculty, alumni, and donors came together to help three recent graduates launch a new business venture; how donors provided scholarship funding to enhance the diversity of our academic community and to support local students of promise; and how faculty, staff, students, and alumni formed a team to raise money for a fund benefiting students in need. These stories show the strength of the Wentworth network and the importance of making and sustaining connections. In this report we also gratefully recognize the valuable connections we enjoy with our many generous donors—connections we hope to maintain for a very long time. On behalf of all of us at Wentworth, I offer them—and you—my deepest gratitude for helping to keep Wentworth operating at such a high level.

Leopard Links: The Wentworth Network and Pillar Technologies Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a network to launch a company. Case in point: three Wentworth graduates had a great idea, killer technology, and the commitment to make it happen. But making it happen takes money, contacts, and sage advice—none of which they could supply themselves. Minus those factors, it’s uncertain whether Pillar Technologies would be where it is today, on the verge of making an enormous impact on the construction industry with an innovative risk management technology.
(l to r): Matt Joyal, BELM ’15; Alex Schwarzkopf, BELM ’15; and Sean Iacobone, BELM ’15.
And for that, they have to thank the Wentworth alumni network. “Wentworth has an amazing network,” says Alex Schwarzkopf, belm ’15, CEO of Pillar. “We’ve really only scratched its surface, but we’ve been able to meet the right people in the right organizations. I think that one of our big advantages is that we’re Wentworth graduates. When we go into an organization, we find that about 20 percent of their employees are Wentworth alumni. And when we’re talking to investors, we can say that we have a pre-built network to tap into.” Alex and his cofounders, Matt Joyal, belm ’15, and Sean Iacobone, belm ’15, have leveraged Wentworth resources and contacts both while they were students and after graduation. Their story is a shining example of the valuable connections that Wentworth students have access to as they seek to fulfill their goals.
First Accelerate, then a pivot Pillar’s roots go back to an entrepreneurial effort that
Alex, Matt, and Sean were involved in with two other classmates and the support of three faculty advisors. Developed through Accelerate, Wentworth Innovation + Entrepreneurship Center—which provided a $13,000 award to the team to facilitate their work—their product was a concussion-detection sensor about the size of a USB memory stick designed to fit inside helmets and headbands to protect athletes from further injury. Though undoubtedly a worthy and timely idea, there were no takers among sports organizations (though members of Wentworth’s hockey and lacrosse teams agreed to wear and test the invention). This is where Wentworth’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration paid off. According to Sean, “In conversation with some Construction Management majors, they suggested the technology could be useful in worker hardhats, given the importance of minimizing worksite injuries. So we went looking for people in the construction industry to talk to.”

One director of safety they approached liked the idea but didn’t think it would be cost-effective to deploy for each worker. He asked, however, if the sensors could detect the temperature inside a building. Environmental factors are a key element of risk in the construction industry. Rain, wind, humidity, and other conditions can wreak havoc on construction work and schedules. A contractor that could keep tabs on developing weather patterns could plan work better and save both time and money. “One of the things I told these guys was that you can’t just think of the product, you have to think of the market,” says Anil Jha, met ’68, hon. ’15, an Accelerate donor and Pillar supporter and advisor. “I met them when they were in Accelerate and eventually helped them write their business plan. On their behalf, I also spoke with contractors, who liked that someone with experience was helping them. As an alumnus and an innovator myself, I like to give back.”

Making contacts—and progress When the team made the change in direction from concussion monitoring to environmental monitoring after graduation, their support network remained intact—which proved essential. According to Sean, “We had to speak with eight to 10 upper-level executives, and that’s not an easy thing to do. At Gilbane Building
“One of our big advantages is that we’re Wentworth graduates. When we go into an organization, we find that about 20 percent of their employees are Wentworth alumni. And when we’re talking to investors, we can say that we have a pre-built network to tap into.” Alex Schwarzkopf, Belm ’15 CEO, Pillar Technologies
Company, a lower-level person wasn’t very impressed and we weren’t sure he would push it up the chain of command. But again, the Wentworth network was the key to our success.” In this case, the network produced Ryan Hutchins, cmt ’96, cmc ’98, who happens to be a senior vice president at Gilbane, and also is a Wentworth Trustee. Ryan agreed to meet with them. “We needed to show a prototype at the meeting, so Sean and I were up until three in the morning making sure it worked correctly,” says Matt. “It was just a board with wires, and we realized we needed an enclosure so it would look like a real product. So on the way to the meeting we stopped at a hardware store and got two blue electrical outlet housings and screws and assembled it in the car.” It may have been a bit cobbled together, but it did the trick. Ryan agreed to host a test site. “I decided to support them because they had a great product,” he says. “It was innovative and something the industry needs. We tried their product, paid for it, and also gave them advice on how to make it better. In addition we have made introductions to key industry folks to help them grow.”
It’s a family affair The device, which recently completed successful beta testing at two sites and will have a larger pilot program in the fall, is a small unit containing numerous sensors that attaches easily to any wall. A large construction site could have dozens or hundreds of these devices installed. The sensors monitor changes in environmental conditions and send the data to a server in the cloud, where the contractor can analyze them. It is, in essence, a decision tool for construction professionals. “It was a bit of a shock when we decided to change direction and focus on environmental monitoring for the construction industry,” says Alex. “I don’t think it could have happened anywhere else but Wentworth.
Where else would Electromechanical Engineering majors be talking with Construction Management majors? We didn’t know anyone in the industry, but alumni were there to advise us, support us financially, and make valuable connections. It feels more like a stroke of good luck than anything else, but then you realize that with programs like Accelerate this is exactly what Wentworth is set up to do.” Monique Fuchs, cofounder of Accelerate and associate vice president of innovation and entrepreneurship at Wentworth, notes, “Alex, Matt, and Sean pivoted and iterated their ideas in Accelerate’s Startup Challenge over a couple of years. The success of Pillar Technologies clearly demonstrates that our learning-by-doing approach works. It allows students to solve real-world problems, network with innovators and entrepreneurs, and source support from Wentworth’s community of alumni.” Another Wentworth alum and entrepreneur agrees. Michael Santora, bsa ’05, is principal of Crown Architecture and Consulting. He, too, helped Pillar get off the ground. “I met Alex during a tour of the Accelerate program and he kept in touch with me,” Michael says. “I shared as much knowledge as I could about general business, industry-specific knowledge, and the challenges of young entrepreneurship. “I believe that Wentworth is a family and the more that we are there for each other, the stronger we all will be,” Michael continues. “I hire Wentworth students as co-ops because I went to Wentworth. The network is there, but it can’t be a passive thing. Students, faculty, administrators, and alumni need to proactively build access to the network so that graduates can jumpstart their careers, and established businesses like mine can benefit from their talents. Accelerate tees up great ideas; it’s our duty to invest in them.” ◆
Who knows where scholarships may lead? The father and grandfather of Wentworth alumni, Sam Altschuler has been strongly connected to the Institute for more than 30 years. In addition to putting decals on his rear windshield, Sam has consistently supported Wentworth by giving scholarships and other gifts, most recently—and notably— by providing a $1 million gift to fund the Altschuler Computer Center. An engineer by trade, he enjoys meeting with recipients of his scholarships. One recipient was Alex Schwarzkopf. “I met Alex over lunch and was very impressed with him,” says Sam. “I told him I wanted to follow up with him after graduation. So when he and his cofounders did Pillar, it was of great interest to me. I found it a very creative idea and I think they’ve gone about it in a very professional way. I think they’re a great team.” Sam has been involved in making financial contributions to the company, providing consulting work, and serving as an advisor. While Pillar has had many supporters, and many alumni have helped out in various ways, it’s worth noting that without scholarships many great ideas would never come to fruition. Ultimately, scholarships make a Wentworth education more accessible, and only when a talented student comes to Wentworth is he or she able to take advantage of the Wentworth network.

Turning Things Around in the Construction Industry Although women make up 47 percent of the total U.S. workforce, they remain poorly represented in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields as well as in the construction industry, where fewer than 9 percent of employees are women. That is starting to change, and Wentworth is where it’s changing. Attracting more female students to Wentworth—particularly in STEM majors—has been a major emphasis for President Zorica Panti´c, the first female engineer to lead an institute of technology in the United States. “One proven way to increase the number of female scientists, engineers, and those who pursue careers in the construction industry is to provide them with financial assistance for their undergraduate studies,” she says. To do that requires a committed partner, and Wentworth has found that in Turner Construction Company, which earlier this year gave the Institute a $100,000 gift to fund scholarships for women interested in majoring in architecture, construction management, and various engineering disciplines at Wentworth. Students who receive the scholarship will also have an opportunity to work at Turner for their co-ops.
Making strides in growing diversity “Turner has had a strong commitment to diversity for a long time,” says Karen Sweeney, senior vice president of diversity, inclusion, and community at the New Yorkbased international construction services company. “We need more women in engineering and construction, so we need to grow the talent pool. The best way to do that
is to provide financial support and partner with a school that is practice-oriented, like Wentworth.” It’s worth noting that Turner’s president and CEO, Peter J. Davoren, cct ’76, hon. ’15, is a Wentworth alum who spoke at summer commencement last year. According to Lori Friedman, Wentworth’s director of corporate and foundation relations, “We met with Peter in January of last year. He expressed his interest in helping us increase the number of women who apply to Wentworth and who enroll in STEM majors. Then we met with Karen and worked out the details of this very generous gift.” Though Wentworth has made great strides in recruiting female applicants, there is still a long way to go. The entering freshman class in 2016 is 22 percent female, up from 19 percent for the 2014–2015 academic year. And while only 10 percent of the approximately 275 Construction Management majors at Wentworth are women, that represents a 100 percent increase from five years ago.
Financial support and hands-on experience The $100,000 gift will be used in two ways: half will fund scholarships for students from Boston who have participated in college access programming through Wentworth’s Center for Community and Learning
Partnerships (CLP) and are coming to Wentworth as first-year students; and half will support female juniors and seniors who are currently in STEM majors at Wentworth. The plan is to award at least two scholarships to incoming freshmen from Boston and up to eight for upperclassmen (who do not have to be Boston residents). “Only about two-thirds of high school students in Boston are going to college, and only 52 percent are graduating from college,” says CLP Director Erik Miller. “One of the biggest issues is financial aid, so we’re hoping to make a difference with the Turner scholarships. They are a perfect complement to our programs, which are designed to prepare local high school students to attain, stay in, and graduate from college.” In addition to the funding, recipients also get a co-op semester at a Turner Construction site in Boston, New York, or Connecticut. “Engineers solve the world’s problems,” says Karen, “yet young people tend to be turned off by the relative rigor and expense of a high-quality engineering program. By making a Wentworth education more affordable, and providing practical experience, we hope to make a real impact not only in our industry but in students’ lives as well.” ◆
Turner Construction Company staff members working with Wentworth on a $100,000 gift to fund scholarships for women include (l to r): Allison Stanton, regional director of community and citizenship; Karen Sweeney, senior vice president, diversity, inclusion, and community; Doris Montgomery, regional human resources director; and Melissa DesRavines, human resources generalist.
Helping STEM fields bloom While women comprise almost half of the total workforce in the U.S., they are far less prevalent in science and engineering fields. Here are the percentages of women who work in a range of STEM-related disciplines:

Alum Opens the Doors to Opportunity Education opens the door to opportunity. Scholarships open the door to education. No one knows that better than Alan Fournier, bset ’83, hon. ’10, a successful alumnus who was a first-generation college student—and who has given back to help others follow their dreams. “One of the most significant challenges facing our country today is the tremendous disparity of opportunity,” he says. “Many talented and capable young people miss out on the opportunity to receive an excellent college education that will set them on a path toward success.” Improving access to education has always been one of Alan’s major philanthropic priorities. He has maintained a close involvement with KIPP charter schools and is the cofounder of Better Education for Kids, an organization that advocates for education reform in his home state of New Jersey. When the opportunity arose to pave the way for disadvantaged students to attend Wentworth, Alan jumped at the chance to make a difference. Established in 2012, the Fournier Family Scholarship provides financial assistance to exceptionally talented students of limited means, bringing a Wentworth education within reach for those with unmet financial need. The scholarship follows students through their four years at Wentworth, and this year marks the graduation of the first group of Fournier Family Scholars.
For two recipients, a valuable education For Cliff Freeman, cis ’16, receiving the scholarship opened a new world of possibility. “I live in a neighborhood where not many people go to college, so I hadn’t really considered it as an option until my junior or senior year
of high school,” he recalls. At a college fair held at his school in Dorchester, Cliff happened upon Wentworth’s table and learned that the Fournier Family Scholarship could make his dream of attending a reality. “I didn’t find Wentworth so much as Wentworth found me,” he says. Billy Ortiz, met ’16, looked into Wentworth on the recommendation of one of his high school teachers. “I was really interested in engineering, and there’s no other school that offers the same level of hands-on experience,” he explains. Both Billy and Cliff have come into their own at Wentworth and discovered a community of inspiring professors and peers—all while pursuing their passions. “I know firsthand that Wentworth has always been
“Wentworth has given me direction and helped me determine what I want to do with my life. This scholarship has made that possible for me.” Cliff Freeman, Cis ’16

extremely welcoming to first-generation college students,” says Alan. “All of the scholarship recipients have worked incredibly hard and done exceptionally well.” As for himself, Alan has used his Wentworth degree in a decidedly nontraditional way. After studying engineering, he shifted his career focus to investment banking and founded Pennant Capital Management in 2001, now a multibillion-dollar hedge fund. “Learning how to think like an engineer—to approach every situation with a problem-solving mentality—has been incredibly helpful in my career,” he says. “Any workplace in any field can benefit from employees with an engineering background.” Billy agrees with that assessment wholeheartedly, and he adds that an engineering education from Wentworth in particular offers even more value. “At Wentworth, we’re not just plain old engineers like you can find at any
college,” he boasts. “We have hands-on experience right out of the gate. I feel ready to take on any challenge.”
Embarking on the future Faced with the prospect of joining the workforce, Billy and Cliff are undaunted. Thanks to Wentworth’s co-op program, both already have significant work experience under their belts. Billy hopes to start a career in manufacturing, inspired by his involvement with the manufacturing center on campus. Cliff says he’d like to “write his own job description at Google or Facebook.” Looking further down the road, however, he has considered pursuing a graduate degree and entering academia. As his time as an undergraduate at Wentworth draws to a close, he has been talking with his professors on campus about a program to encourage more alumni to return to Wentworth to teach.
Both agree that without the Fournier Family Scholarship, they would never have had the opportunity to attend Wentworth. “I’m incredibly grateful to Alan for making my education possible,” says Billy. “Seeing what he has made of his Wentworth degree has inspired me to reach for that kind of success, so that someday I might be able to give back the way he has.” “Wentworth has given me direction and helped me determine what I want to do with my life,” says Cliff. “This scholarship made that possible for me.” “I feel a profound obligation to help kids with limited financial means get the education they deserve,” says Alan. “A Wentworth degree offers the perfect stepping stone for motivated, talented students like Billy and Cliff to advance their careers. It’s gratifying to see how well they’ve done so far, and I look forward to seeing their future successes.” ◆

Going the Distance for Students in Need If there is one athletic event that is most illustrative of the value of connections, it’s a relay race. Continuity and completion depend entirely on one runner handing off to another; if those connections fail, the race is lost. It may fairly be said that a relay team is only as strong as its connections. That was true in May 2016, when a team of Wentworth faculty, staff, students, and alumni ran the Cape Cod Ragnar Relay, one of a series of relay races held at locations across the country. Spanning 200 miles in 24 hours, the 12-person team succeeded in traversing the grueling course from Nantasket Beach in Hull to the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown. In doing so, they raised more than $11,000 for Wentworth’s Student Emergency Fund, which provides financial relief for students facing unforeseen challenges during their time at Wentworth. “We’re pretty active people,” says Annamaria Wenner, dean of students and vice president of student affairs. “Our office participates in boot camps and road races, and we were looking for a team-based event to do. The Ragnar Relay was convenient in terms of time and location, and when we decided to use it as a fundraiser for the Student Emergency Fund, people got very excited about it.” According to team captain Chris Scanlon, associate director of Wentworth’s Center for Student Engagement, “We realized we could draw support from Wentworth’s extended community, including alumni who live along the route, and corporate partners who could sponsor us. The Student Emergency Fund has been around since 2012 but it’s not well-known. For students trying to balance tuition, rent, and food, it can make a big difference.”
A win-win for Wentworth With a catchy team name— #WentWorthIt—and social media presence, the runners set out to reach the fundraising goal of $5,000. There were bake sales and other activities on campus; Wentworth’s food vendor, Chartwells, allowed students to allocate up to $10 of their dining cash to the cause and donated some money itself to make an even $1,000. The Wentworth Alumni Association provided safety gear such as headlamps, protective vests, and taillights, and Dellbrook Construction LLC/JK Scanlon Company LLC, a longtime employer of Wentworth students, sponsored the team. Meanwhile, parents sent snacks to the team before and after the race, and one alumnus, Brian Faidell, acos ’01, bcos ’03, opened his summer home in Provincetown to the team for much-appreciated rest, food, and showers. “Team members were split into two vans provided by Enterprise Rent-a-Car,” says Jenn Kosses, assistant dean of students. “We would follow along the route, cheering on our runners, then drive up ahead to the next exchange point so the next runner could get warmed up. When one van of runners had all completed one leg, we rested and traveled until it was our turn again. Reading all the supportive tweets we got helped to pass the time and keep our spirits up.”
Each team member ran three legs of the race, all through the night and even in a torrential rainstorm. The first leg was run by Jenn at 6:45 a.m. on May 13. Jenna Jacobs ’16 ran the longest single leg (10.5 miles) and Matt Hallock ’15 ran the longest distance overall (his three legs added up to 22.28 miles). Both Jenna and Matt are Mechanical Engineering graduates. With the success of this event, both in raising money for the Student Emergency Fund and in serving as a magnet for the extended Wentworth community to come together in support of an exciting and inspiring effort, the question remains: will they do it again? “Given that a number of people not involved in this race have already expressed interest, it seems likely that a Wentworth team of some configuration will take up the baton next year,” says Annamaria. “What really made this special for me is the realization that not one of us could have done the race by ourselves. It truly takes a team, just like getting a college education. And this also speaks to the value of the Student Emergency Fund. Doing the Ragnar Relay was truly a win-win for Wentworth.” ◆

Each year Wentworth’s Office of Student Affairs identifies a number of students with emergency financial situations that result in students being at risk of withdrawing from the Institute. These situations are as varied as providing a plane ticket for a student to visit her dying father to purchasing a monthly train pass for a commuter student who otherwise could not afford it. Without this monetary support, students often are forced to voluntarily withdraw from the Institute, temporarily or permanently.
→ Homelessness
examples of emergencies include:
→ Sudden
→ Travel
home for illness or death in the immediate family
→ Inability
due to loss of housing
to pay for food
→ Documented
theft of books, computers, and other essential academic belongings
→ Medical
bills for uninsured necessary appointments, accidents, surgery, prescription eyeglasses, or essential dental work
→ Reimbursement
for transportation to and from school and/or medical appointments loss of childcare to cover academic time period
→ Fire
or theft or other unexpected loss of personal property
The Student Emergency Fund assists in resolving these problems by offering financial relief, which is often paired with other support services, such as counseling, advising, or tutoring. The goal of this effort is to provide relief for students in these unexpected and unavoidable situations so they can successfully overcome these obstacles, remain enrolled at the Institute, and ultimately graduate from Wentworth.

Preserving a Family Legacy Ed Gallagher, md ’61, will tell you that his life before Wentworth was heading in the wrong direction. “I was a bit of a delinquent when I was younger,” he jokes. A member of the 1904 Society, Ed credits Wentworth with helping him get on the right track. To give thanks, last year he made a named gift as part of the Campaign for the Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Commons. Named for the year in which Arioch Wentworth’s estate gift was used to found the school that bears his name, the 1904 Society honors those who have included Wentworth in their estate plans. One of six children, Ed worked as a sanitary engineer while also investing in real estate. Though he officially retired in 2000, Ed continues to work part-time as a public health agent for the Town of Rowley, Mass. A car enthusiast who practices tai chi, Ed has always had a love for education and has taught automotive and shop classes. He was also devoted to his wife, Kathy, a chemist whom he met while teaching at Wakefield High School.
“She was incredibly smart and kindhearted,” he says of Kathy. “We had talked about different ways to give back, and I know she greatly admired Wentworth.” When Kathy passed away in 2014, Ed began to consider the legacy he and his wife will leave. He decided to give back to the school that led to so much of his success over the years. As a tribute to her, Ed’s space will be named The Edward and Kathleen Gallagher Flexible Collaboration Space. “Wentworth really gave me a break, and this is a nice chance to pay it back,” Ed says. “Most people will never see my tombstone, but people in the library will always see my name and Kathy’s name.”

Making an Impact Through the President’s Circle George Chamillard, ie ’58, hon. ’97, cites three ingredients in his personal recipe for success. “You need a top-notch education, you need to work very hard, and you need lots of luck,” says the Trustee Emeritus and former CEO and chairman of the board at Teradyne. Through his longtime support of Wentworth, George is making sure the next generation of students enjoys a great education at the Institute as well. George is a member of the President’s Circle, a group of alumni, friends, corporations, and organizations who have supported Wentworth through a gift of $25,000 or more. “The nice thing about giving is that it’s fun. You feel good,” George says. “It’s nice to help people achieve things they would not be able to without some financial help.”

Dear alumni and friends, As chair of the Development Committee of the Wentworth Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to report on Wentworth’s fundraising results over the past year. Thanks to the generosity of so many individuals and institutions, I am pleased to be able to share with you that Wentworth enjoyed another strong year of support from donors. The following highlights stand out:
3,027 8.4% 9% 12%
I n total, Wentworth received $8,910,969 from 3,027 donors, an 18 percent increase over goal
Our library campaign exceeded its financial goal by 8.4 percent, raising $8,133,172 from 242 donors
This level of financial support says a lot about the commitment of our friends—and it also says a lot about what our friends think of us. Clearly we are doing something right to engender this much loyalty and generosity. Thank you to all who contributed to Wentworth in the past year. We pledge to continue to work hard to be worthy of your generous support.
Alumni donors increased by 9 percent

Campaign for the Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Commons We are proud to announce that our campaign to renovate Wentworth’s library exceeded its $7.5 million financial goal by 8.4 percent, raising $8,133,172 from 242 donors. Seeded by a $5 million gift from Douglas D. Schumann, am ’64, hon. ’08, and gifts from other donors who support our mission, the campaign was one of the most ambitious fundraising initiatives in our history. For generations to come, the Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Commons will serve as a learning hub that strengthens our community and connects its members
to powerful tools and global information assets. We are immensely grateful to all 242 donors for their support and most especially to Doug Schumann, who has been a valued member of the Wentworth family for more than 50 years. Just as the Schumann Fitness Center strengthens bodies, the Schumann Library & Learning Commons will strengthen minds.
