Dear Alumni and Friends,

when i say that wentworth is at an inflection point in this moment, I wholeheartedly mean it. As the university enters its 120th year, we are embarking on an ambitious Institutional Master Plan that will transform our Boston campus and have a tremendously positive impact on the Wentworth community and beyond.

The IMP represents the future of Wentworth. It is a plan to further heighten Wentworth’s visibility and reach while solidifying us as the university of opportunity for students who are looking to transform their lives.

You have likely been following the progress made on the new Sweeney Athletic Complex, which is set to open for the fall semester this year and—as you’ll see in this report—has our student-athletes very excited. But we’re just getting started. In the coming years you can look forward to:

A new eight-story, 111,000-square-foot integrated athletics field house and 217-bed residence hall

A 267,000-square-foot, 672-bed residence hall fronting on Huntington Avenue with study and event spaces, a dining hall, and an expanded fitness center

A reconfigured 13-story, 522-bed residence hall at 630 Huntington Ave., replacing Baker Hall, that will include a café, study and event spaces

A five-story West Quad Academic Building to newly house the School of Architecture and Design

New North and South Halls, replacing the outdated Annex complex offering new homes for the Schools of Engineering and Management

Two new outdoor green public spaces

And the IMP is simply continuing work already taking place thanks to people like you. Within these pages you’ll read about what we’re currently doing to transform the academic experience, bolster our external partnerships, enable entrepreneurial opportunities, engage with our alumni, work with our Boston neighbors, and meet more of our donors on the road.

This year you’ll see a further commitment to not just students, but to our alumni base and our friends in industry.

And we will continue to deliver to our students what has always been at the core of our mission: A hands-on, future-ready education that’s worth it.

With gratitude,

Mark A. Thompson, Ph.D. President

‘Inspired Conversations’ Takes Wentworth on the Road

By Greg Abazorius

It all began with one poignant question: Do you believe?

For Wentworth Institute of Technology President Mark A. Thompson, the answer is a resounding yes. It’s a belief that Wentworth students can change the world, and in alumni, friends, faculty, and staff to help provide the tools to do so.

This belief ushered in a yearlong Presidential road show titled “Inspired Conversations,” which saw President Thompson, Vice President for Institutional Advancement and External Relations Crate Herbert, and a variety of guests bring their message to locations up and down the Atlantic coast, finding enthused and dedicated attendees at every stop.

“The road show has been a wonderful series of events, allowing President Thompson to connect with hundreds of alumni over the past year,” said Herbert, whose team helped organize the events.

“Given that the COVID-19 pandemic hit a mere eight months into his presidency, this series offered Mark a chance to reconnect and, in many cases, connect for the first time with alumni, friends, and families.”

The road show kicked off in January with a Naples, Fla. event hosted by Doug Schumann, AM ’64, Hon. ’08, and Sandy Schumann. Peter Davoren, CC ’76, Hon. ’15, and Turner Construction hosted a road show event in New York

City during the spring, while Portland, Maine, played host to alumni and friends in the fall. A special road show event also took place on Wentworth’s Boston campus.

Each stop afforded Thompson the chance to discuss the university’s bright future, going over its master plan and showcasing recent academic and infrastructure developments, including the construction of a new athletic center on Parker Street. But the “Inspired Conversations” series also allowed Thompson to meet personally with those who have given so much to Wentworth over the years and share in a passion for offering opportunity.

“We meet every individual where they are,” Thompson said during the Naples event. “We understand them as individuals and don’t take a cookie cutter approach, and we provide them an education that works best for them.”

Students Sabrina Lorica, Master of Architecture ’22, Aya El Abdullah, Mechanical Engineering ’25, and Jadon Watson (pictured below), Cybersecurity ’24, joined some of the events and shared why they believe Wentworth was the right choice for them.

“I’m really grateful for the support and genuine care that Wentworth provides each of its students,” said Lorica.

Watson added, “Wentworth has not just allowed me to make something feasible, but has supported me in all of my goals.”

Road show attendees were afforded networking opportunities, an inside look at upcoming Wentworth projects, and the

chance to engage directly with President Thompson during a Q&A session.

“These gatherings allowed our community to get to know Mark personally, hear a bit about his own story and reasons for joining Wentworth, and learn about his optimism and ambitions for its future,” Herbert said.

Beyond the Bricks: Wentworth’s New Athletic Center Builds Community

Located at 600 Parker Street, once completed, Wentworth’s Athletic Center will provide current and future student-athletes with the opportunity to practice and compete on a field that meets their competitive needs.

A new, regulation-size turf will replace the existing field at 500 Huntington Avenue, allowing Wentworth to host NCAA games for the first time since applying to join the association in 1984. The new Sweeney Field will host home games for Wentworth women’s and men’s soccer, and women’s and men’s lacrosse, as well as club sports, Colleges of the Fenway intramural sports, and community youth programming.

“I’m looking forward to the positive impact this facility will have on our school’s sports programs and opportunities it will create for us.”

JENNY MONTVILLE ’25, WOMEN’S SOCCER

“I can’t wait for the opportunity to play on a new field, especially one where we are no longer street level! While I liked the centralized location of the old field, it’ll be great to have less distractions during practices and games.”

Thinking Big: STRIVE at 35

The STRIVE Boston Public Schools Wentworth Training Program celebrates 35 years of providing vocational training and true community inclusion to more than 6,000 local youth with disabilities.

By Danna Lorch

When Raquan Wright Pritchett first walked through the doors of the STRIVE Wentworth Program at age 19, he didn’t know how to ask for help—or have the skills he needed to land a job and launch a career.

Three years into the program, Wright Pritchett sat down with pride to reflect on how far he’s come. He had just worked a morning shift using industrial equipment and chemical-free cleaning products to sanitize and polish the common area floors of an Institute residence hall. “When I got here, I was struggling. This program saved me, kept me out of trouble, and now when I look at myself, I can see that there is a big change,” he said.

STRIVE stands for Supported Training to Reach Independence through Vocational Experiences. Now celebrating its 35th year, the community-based program was created by the Boston Public Schools in partnership with Wentworth to provide vocational training and life skills to youth with disabilities before they transition from high school to postsecondary life.

More than 6,000 individuals have successfully participated in the program—and 99.9% of them were able to apply their newfound skills to gain employment, advocate for themselves, and live independently.

Wentworth considers each of the 130 current STRIVE participants to be invaluable members of its community and staff, pays them for their time, and honors them with celebrations like a popular annual Thanksgiving Lunch.

STRIVE participants like Wright Pritchett receive the hard skills necessary to take on roles in facilities management, hospitality, customer service, business management, and public works (recycling). They also cultivate the soft skills that are critical for making friends, keeping safe, and staying healthy as adults.

“You are walking into a place of awesomeness, and these students are the kings and queens,” promises STRIVE liaison to Wentworth Brenda Tañón-Jackson, tugging open the heavy doors to the recycling center on campus, a space participants call the Green Side.

Eye-Catching Webpage for Co - ops & Careers Unveiled WENTWORTH PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2024

One of Wentworth’s hallmarks has long been its vaunted cooperative learning (co-op) program. Students have earned hands-on experience at real companies since 1975, and the university’s Co-ops & Careers office continues to find success for our students, with 10,000 students working at 780 companies since 2016 alone.

But for prospective students and families, what is the co-op program and why is it so important? To answer those questions in a fun and informative way, Wentworth overhauled its co-ops webpage, implementing videos of students sharing their stories, a handy graphic showing the difference between co-ops and internships, data points, FAQs, and a whimsical map showing some of the locations co-ops have worked in the Northeast area.

Longtime Wentworth benefactor Lloyd Carney, EEE ’82, EE ’84, Hon. ’13, has returned to the Board of Trustees. Carney has previously served on Wentworth’s board, and is responsible for providing students with both the Tech Sandbox and the Lloyd Carney Reading Room.

Carney is also the chair and CEO of Carney Global Ventures, a global investment vehicle. He previously served as CEO and director of Brocade Communications Systems, a global supplier of networking hardware and software, and CEO and director of information technology and hardware company Xsigo Systems.

Carney spoke as the keynote speaker during Wentworth’s August 2013 Commencement ceremony, where he was awarded an honorary PhD in Engineering. He has long given to various causes, and established the Lloyd Carney Foundation, which focuses on health care and children’s needs, with funding also going toward disaster recovery efforts and human rights.

Transparent Leadership and Academic Innovation

Sophia Maggelakis’ Impact at Wentworth

Sophia Maggelakis’ focus on fostering educational excellence and global engagement defines her vision for the university’s academic future. Through the work of Wentworth’s provost and executive vice president, notable strides—like the implementation of the 7-Year Academic Programs Master Plan—signify a strong dedication to the university’s growth.

Throughout her tenure, Maggelakis has prioritized inclusive leadership, aiming to inspire collaboration and achievement within the academic community. She shares more about her time at Wentworth up to this point, including the strength and commitment she has found from colleagues.

Greg Abazorius: You have been serving in this position for more than a year now. When you reflect on that time, what has surprised you the most?

Sophia Maggelakis: The resilience and adaptability of our academic community. Despite the challenges that the Wentworth community faced [after the pandemic], the faculty, staff, and students have shown a strong commitment to our shared mission. I have been pleasantly surprised by the depth of collaboration and innovation within our academic units. Witnessing the creativity and dedication of our faculty in developing new programs and approaches to education has been truly inspiring.

Greg: What would you say are among the items you and your team have accomplished in that time that you are most proud of? What has made the Wentworth academic experience stronger in the last year?

Sophia: We are at a pivotal juncture in our institution’s history, and it is my belief that we have the potential to reach new heights. To meet the evolving needs of our students, academic community, and the marketplace, it is essential that we advance our university by enhancing our academic programs through thoughtful and strategic decision-making.

This task is particularly significant as we navigate enrollment challenges and resource constraints. This growth process requires collective effort and a shared commitment to our institution’s future.

The engagement and dedication witnessed during the implementation of our 7-Year Academic Programs Master Plan exemplify this collective commitment. I am

pleased and impressed with the manner in which our faculty and staff have embraced this opportunity. Their active participation is instrumental in our evolution and maturation as a university, all while preserving the cherished values and traditions that define us.

Greg: What is a major goal that you have over the next year?

Sophia: One of my major goals is to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and deans to foster a culture of excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarly work, all geared toward enriching the overall student experience, establishing avenues for community engagement, forging partnerships, and implementing outreach programs.

I am committed to advancing faculty development programs to support the professional growth of our educators. Additionally, I am committed to cultivating a globally oriented academic environment, which involves expanding international collaborations, promoting study abroad programs, and attracting a diverse array of international students to our academic community.

Greg: How do you inspire faculty as a leader, and how do you foster collaboration?

Sophia: I strongly believe in inclusive decision-making and open and transparent communication. Engaging faculty in the decision-making process keeps them informed about decisions and initiatives, especially on matters that directly affect them. It not only results in better outcomes but also instills a sense of ownership and pride in our collective achievements and creates a culture of trust and inclusivity, allowing for constructive collaboration.

I have worked collaboratively with faculty members to clarify, refine, and articulate our goals, policies, and processes. This shared vision helps create a sense of purpose and inspires everyone to contribute to our collective success.

Additionally, I aim to be approachable and available to faculty members. Regular meetings, open-door policies, and oneon-one sessions help me understand their concerns, address issues promptly, gain valuable feedback, and build strong, positive relationships.

Greg: Wentworth once had a reputation as a vocational school. In more recent years we have added strong graduate programs,

shaping tomorrow ’s educational landscape

state-of-the-art labs, high-level professors, among other advancements. Is it fair to say—in your opinion—that Wentworth has fully shed that vocational reputation at this point? What work is there still to do as Wentworth solidifies its status as a world-class university?

Sophia: I envision our university as a dual-mission institution, distinguished for its relevant portfolio of degree programs and for its workforce development initiatives, encompassing certificates, non-degree programs, and microcredentials. In the present educational landscape, many adult learners with bachelor’s and master’s degrees seek enrollment in certificate and non-degree programs to advance their education and align with workforce demands. A dual-mission university not only caters to this diverse educational landscape but also serves as a catalyst for promoting equity and fostering opportunities for students from nontraditional backgrounds.

While we have made substantial strides in expanding beyond our vocational roots, there is always room for growth. We should invest in emerging fields, encourage a dynamic learning environment, continue to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, further diversify our academic offerings to meet the evolving needs of students and industries, and enhance scholarly and creative activities initiatives.

Building a robust network of partnerships with industry and with leading institutions, both nationally and internationally, will contribute to our global standing.

In 2023, Sophia Maggelakis was named to the board of directors for the Association of Chief Academic Officers (ACAO), the preeminent professional organization for academic affairs leaders for public and private institutions. The group—founded in 2014—aims to foster collaboration, share best practices, engage in discussions about common challenges, and advocate for matters pertaining to higher education and academic leadership.

“Building relationships with fellow board members has been a great experience,” said Maggelakis. “I have really appreciated the opportunity to work alongside such a dedicated and experienced group of individuals. Learning from their insights and expertise has been incredibly valuable for me.”

ACAO board members represent a wide variety of locations, including James Madison University, University of San Diego, Oklahoma State University, Gonzaga University, and University of The Bahamas, to name a few. Meetings allow for board members to focus on issues that cut across the diversity of higher education institutions and missions.

“It is inspiring to see how everyone brings their unique perspectives to the table, creating a dynamic and innovative environment. Getting involved in the decisionmaking process and contributing to the strategic direction of the board has been both challenging and rewarding,” Maggelakis said. “Knowing that our decisions directly contribute to the betterment of our organization and its stakeholders is truly fulfilling.”

Next Generation Partnerships

Aamir Suleman on Reimagining How We Work Together

By Greg Abazorius

Life is often about finding the right opportunities. The opportunity to take a leap, a calculated risk. Often the opportunity to find success. Or an opportunity to help others find success.

People who come to Wentworth Institute of Technology seek opportunities, whether as students or as those working on our students’ behalf.

Opportunity, it can be said, brought Aamir Suleman to Wentworth. An accomplished fundraiser with a PhD in Business Management, he and his family left their home in South Africa in 2022 to come to the United States for a primary reason—Suleman was drawn to Wentworth’s mission and believed that he could help make a difference.

Over the past year, Suleman and Vice President for Institutional Advancement and External Relations (IAER) Crate Herbert have reimagined what it means to build partnerships. With a new team in place and goals set, the Office of Advancement, Industry, Foundation, and Government Partnerships (AIGP) has arrived, and with it an original approach to working with donors and helping Wentworth students as much as possible.

Aamir’s Journey

Born and raised in South Africa, Suleman believed from a young age that he could help change the world. He studied political science in university, beginning a long relationship with nonprofits. He earned a postgraduate degree in international relations before obtaining a master’s degree in commerce and a doctorate in philosophy in business management from the University of Johannesburg.

He worked with several political institutions, including the African National Congress, of which Nelson Mandela was once president. And Suleman found himself enjoying the work, but not seeing quick results. He decided to do more in the education realm.

“Through that process I realized that I could change the world through politics, but it’s gonna be much harder,” he said. “And as part of my move into education,

I was quite privileged to work for a number of great universities across Africa and worked at the intersection of academia and commercialization in a number of different roles.”

Suleman started on international partnerships, customizing, designing, and developing corporate education. He built partnerships within industry and government. And later in his career he found himself at Carnegie Mellon University, posted at its Africa campus in Rwanda. “There was a focus on driving inclusive, digital growth across the continent,” he said.

Suleman served as the inaugural director of education networks and knowledge creation, developing a network of universities across sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere to solve problems for African citizens through collaboration and scholarship. The network of universities launched projects related to energy, digital identity, and combating malaria, focused on how a group of core universities could work together for a common cause to

progress African development. He published articles, lectured across several universities, and held a number of board, volunteer, and advocacy positions.

“As I did my PhD, the fourth industrial revolution was happening, COVID was happening, and there were a lot of questions around the relevance of universities,” Suleman said. “I spent a lot of time looking at ways that we can enhance universities and ensure that they are relevant, which strongly aligns to the roles that I’ve played and the role that I play at Wentworth.”

Arriving at Wentworth

If politics is often reactionary, it can be said that education is more often proactive. Students are shown different paths they may choose, and they are prepared—in real time—to deal with challenges that could arise on a given path. Suleman firmly believes the education from a university like Wentworth can advance the world in the way he thought about as a young man.

“What really resonates with me is the ability to inspire change. I believe through the work that we do, we change lives. We build careers, we develop communities, we advance societies.”

AAMIR SULEMAN

“What really resonates with me is the ability to inspire change. I believe through the work that we do, we change lives. We build careers, we develop communities, we advance societies. Ultimately, we provide an open opportunity for others to change the world,” he said.

And though he was finding great success in Africa, he will tell you that it was Wentworth that brought him and his family to the United States.

“I saw such an incredible opportunity through Wentworth. I believe strongly in the hands-on, practical education,” he said. “And what Wentworth brings to the table is the heart of what we do, a wonderful opportunity to both help societies and lift up individuals.”

Building the Team

Since his Wentworth arrival in October 2022, Suleman has quickly built strong relationships within industry and beyond.

He has traveled with Herbert, Thompson, and others to numerous national and international locations, building goodwill for the university and cultivating new partnerships.

He is also at the helm of the Office of Advancement, Industry, Foundation, and Government Partnerships, which includes team members Erik Ryan, senior major gifts officer; Xander Bennett, senior associate director of industry engagement; Samantha Lawson, associate director of foundation engagement; Iyanna Williams, major gift officer; and Casey Glynn, manager. Together, the team has secured a number of gifts for Wentworth, and both created and expanded on key partnerships.

Suleman knows that his team—as a unified front working in concert with the rest of IAER—can be more productive and reach areas that past siloed approaches could not. The AIGP key paths to success are:

→ Be more data-driven and efficient

→ Find new opportunities and partnerships

→ Communicate their value effectively

→ Work together better and develop their talent

→ Become more visible and respected

Suleman has urged his team to adopt an agile mindset to adapt strategies and plans based on changing circumstances

“We’re identifying ways to enhance coordination and collaboration so that we’re really developing partnerships for the benefit of the entire university ecosystem.”

AAMIR SULEMAN

and emerging opportunities. And Suleman’s enterprise approach is also novel for this area within Wentworth.

“It’s really about identifying and developing a shared vision for partnerships across the university. There have been such incredible successes at Wentworth from an industry and government partnership standpoint. There’s such a great wealth of experience, capability, just incredible people across different divisions and an opportunity exists to bring those individuals together,” he said.

Suleman continued, “We’re identifying ways to enhance coordination and collaboration so that we’re really developing partnerships for the benefit of the entire university ecosystem.”

One way to do that is the creation of the Next Generation Partnership Committee, co-chaired by Suleman and Associate Provost for Transformational Learning Susan Duffy. Bringing together representatives from across campus, the group aims to find opportunity to enhance crossuniversity collaboration leading to mutually beneficial internal and external partnerships. They plan to share partnership stories, hold industry appreciation events, and produce newsletters, among other initiatives.

“[The committee] went back to the drawing board and we identified who’s our stakeholders, where are the biggest opportunities, what are the biggest gaps,”

notable partnerships

YouthWorks

As the sole university involved in this groundbreaking collaboration, Wentworth will play a crucial role in providing training and opportunities for 130 Boston youths by partnering with YouthWorks, a state-funded youth employment program that helps teens and young adults develop the skills and experience needed to find and keep jobs.

Genevieve McMillan-Reba Stewart Foundation Fund

he said. “We’re using the strategic pillar of Next Generation Partnerships as not only a function of the university, but a competitive advantage of how we would like to do things going forward.”

Another way is the Dean’s Advisory Council, which is a continued effort between the Provost’s Office and IAER to ensure that industry is at the center of each Wentworth school.

Next Steps

Suleman is proud of the ground his team has covered over the last year, launching committees and projects, and building out key processes.

“We have such incredible alumni and other partners out there with wonderful people all invested in the success of our university,” said Suleman. “And it’s been a

pleasure to work with them and to identify some of those individuals as we build out our partnerships.”

But he believes they are just getting started.

“There’s lots of cool things happening at Wentworth and out there in the world,” he said, “and I think that’s how we collectively change the world, through partnering effectively to identify ways that we can build and create opportunities to do really special work.”

Blueprint for Innovation

Building Community Through Local Partnerships

By Jessica Rymer

How do you teach students to roof without a roof? Or put up drywall without a wall? The answer is surprisingly simple: you bring the building to them.

Such a building, or kit, is being created by students and faculty at Wentworth’s School of Architecture and Design in partnership with YouthBuild Boston. The components— including floors, roofs, and walls—will be digitally fabricated in the Wentworth architecture studios. The group will also have access to equipment in the Autodesk space in the Boston Seaport, where Robert Trumbour, associate professor of architecture, has a residency.

“The idea is that this [will] become a sort of classroom that can travel,” explained adjunct professor Danyson Tavares, Architecture ’11, M. Architecture ’12. “But its use will evolve based on needs and context.”

“This is the first generation of the project,” added Trumbour. “We’ll learn what doesn’t work and what works

Robert Trumbour, Associate Professor of Architecture

well, and then we’ll make changes. To use the analogy of software development, we’re in the beta version right now and the end users will improve on it over time.”

The kit is designed to be disassembled and easily transported in a pickup or box truck. The fully assembled structure will measure nine feet by nine feet; for now, it exists as a three-foot by three-foot model in Wentworth’s architecture studios.

It’s a passion project for Trumbour and Tavares, who is also a project development manager at YouthBuild Boston. Tavares, who has taught architecture at Wentworth for over a decade, has been interested in this type of work since he was a student at Wentworth. When he switched from a traditional architecture career to working at YouthBuild, partnering with Wentworth to introduce young adults to the equipment at the Autodesk space, hosted by the leading architecture and engineering software provider, was a natural next step.

“Historically, [YouthBuild] students have never been exposed to digital fabrication,” said Tavares. “The ability to bring them to Autodesk and show them this pathway into construction, manufacturing, or industrial design opens up their minds to [so many] different careers.”

Digital fabrication is increasingly becoming part of the architect’s tool kit. The process—using software and hardware in combination with an individual’s own design thinking—can produce industrial design objects, architecture, city planning, and anything in between.

“The environment that we live in, from the toasters and coffee makers that we use in the morning to the buildings we walk into, traditionally all of those things have been made by hand,” Trumbour explained. “And now, in most cases, they are manufactured by machines. But ultimately, we as designers need to be able to understand how those machines work and really leverage what is possible with them.”

But the duo is hoping to impress more than that on the YouthBuild students.

“The other aspect of this collaboration is that we’re teaching the Wentworth students who are going out into the field how to actually engage with the community,” said Tavares. “That’s a super important part of this— how to make sure that the voices and identities of the communities they work with are being accounted for in their work.”

It’s the fact that Wentworth and YouthBuild are a part of the same community that makes this collaboration a natural fit: Wentworth’s campus is literally a fiveminute walk from the YouthBuild Boston offices in Roxbury, where many of the participants also live. For Tavares especially, the connections go even further. Two

Wentworth alumni—Neil Daniel, Architecture ’18, and Emily Chowdhury, M. Architecture ’21 now work at YouthBuild in The Designery teaching and mentoring high school students.

“We’ve all been champions in this space of . . . [giving] folks in our community access to design and to architecture and all these things,” Tavares said. “As someone who’s an alumnus who is really passionate about Wentworth it’s a perfect storm. I think it just naturally fits.”

Class of 2023 architecture students on this project included Ben Caron, Lucas Chichester, Sam Clough, Dante Egizi, Cat Evans, Alex Garcia, Nicholas Leighton, Jake Lipinski, Alissa Oliveira, Kaitlin Pettenger, Sam Sawyer-Standley, Amber Vuong, and Riley Waggoner.

Accelerate

Rediscovering Wentworth’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center

2.0

Revamped after a pandemic pause, Accelerate is more popular than ever, thanks to new leadership.

By Jessica Rymer

Felipe Pinto dislocated his patella 20 minutes into his first home game. For a lifelong soccer player, it was a low moment.

In fact, it turned out to be one of the most defining moments of his life.

“Fortunately, I didn’t have to undergo any surgery,” said Pinto, a business management major in the class of 2025, “but it was tough.”

On his second day of rehab, he brought in a Gatorade. Pinto, like many student-athletes, used the drink to replenish the sugars he lost during workouts.

“[My trainer] asked me to read the amount of sugar on [the label], then do a little more research,” he shared. “It was 48 grams of sugar.” That’s about a quarter of a cup. At the time, he was drinking three Gatorades—and consuming almost a cup of sugar—per day.

Because of his injury, he wasn’t exercising like he used to, but he still needed a way to stay hydrated. After some searching, he realized that there wasn’t a sports drink on the market that would replenish electrolytes while being both low calorie and zero sugar.

So he made his own.

“I was in Accelerate almost every day after class,” he said. “I walked in, nothing but smiles and help.”

Since 2012, Accelerate, Wentworth’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, has been the campus hub for students looking to bring their ideas to life. With more than 5,000 square feet of space for making, woodworking, 3D printing, sewing, soldering, and more, Accelerate’s team of dedicated staff provide instructions for the machinery and—more crucially—work the problem with the student.

“[Accelerate’s] giving you the resources on campus, by telling you where to go, who to talk to, what to do,” Pinto explained. “[They’re] giving you the steps to get from point A to point Z.”

“We mentor students to break free from fear so they may embrace the power of independent thought, persistent application, and creative problem-solving to seize their own destinies. These are the students envisioning groundbreaking ventures that will redefine industries and drive societal progress in the coming decades.”

“We want to help students move their ideas forward,” said Ashley Lucas, Accelerate’s executive director. “If they want to use the tools or equipment, get a strong understanding of entrepreneurship, or just find people to bounce their ideas off of, we’re here to help them reach their goals.”

The convivial atmosphere that Lucas and her staff have cultivated is what makes Accelerate such a special place for the students.

“We’re always here working, bouncing ideas off of other people, bringing a positive attitude,” said Emily Oman ’23. “I think we’ve been able to succeed because of that aspect of both our team and the Accelerate environment.”

Positivity—along with tenacity and passion—has been crucial to her group’s success. Oman, along with fellow biomedical engineering seniors Jessica Scholz ’23 and Timothy Bun ’23, leveraged Accelerate’s resources to complete their engineering capstone project: a prototype exoskeleton glove that alleviates symptoms of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or hEDS, in the wearer. The prototype’s flex sensor determines when the hand should open and close, taking pressure off the joints during repetitive tasks.

For a group of biomedical engineers, it required a lot of electromechanical fundamentals.

“It felt like we were starting a bit behind compared to someone who is an electrical engineering major,” said Bun. “Imagine an electronics schematic . . . and imagine if someone took a pencil and started scribbling over that so you couldn’t even see what it was. [That’s] the scale of what we’re dealing with.”

That didn’t stop the group, who worked with alumni, their fellow students, and even a local fisherman to fill in the gaps in their knowledge base.

After successfully presenting their exoskeleton glove at the School of Engineering’s senior showcase, Bun, Oman, and Scholz graduated in August. The group recently presented a paper on their project at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Undergraduate Research Technology Conference at MIT. Though they have no plans to turn their project into a company, they hope their project inspires new research and brings greater awareness to hEDS.

“Each of us brought skills from our [co-ops] that aided us,” added Jessica Scholz ’23. “That [and] the collaborative environment that Accelerate has as well as Wentworth as a whole. The skills we’ve gained outside of our education and the ability to collaborate with the Wentworth lab community have allowed us to be far more successful than we would have been alone.”

It’s that type of innovation and growth mindset that Accelerate hopes to foster in all students. It’s also one of the goals under Wentworth’s High Value Learning strategic pillar.

“Having an entrepreneurial mindset is a vital skill that students need to develop for the 21st century,” Lucas shared. “The ability to have a future vision and experiment their way toward making that vision a reality [gives] students a competitive advantage regardless of whether they want to work for themselves or for someone else.”

Accelerate offers programs that introduce students to this concept from different angles.

Business management major Marcia Williams ’24 attended the business series, a six-part workshop that helps students develop, think through, and iterate on new ideas with the end customer in mind.

“We [had] to think of different ways [to] interpret our business,” she explained. “I was also in classes at the time, so it gave me the opportunity to have some space to think about what I can do for the future.”

Williams, who also has a minor in entrepreneurship, has her own photography business. Utilizing the range of professional photography equipment in the Maker Space and being able to work with Lab Technician Tory Lam has helped her improve her craft.

“Accelerate is so welcoming,” she said. “There’s always different types of people doing different projects it’s really inspiring.”

Williams also participated in one of Accelerate’s newest programs, the Accelerate Co-op for Entrepreneurs, or ACE.

“I’ve never had the time to do anything but my photography business,” she shared. “We had access to individuals with a lot of experience in entrepreneurship one of the mentors from the program [is] still in contact with me and helping me out with my business.”

The program was made possible by a generous gift from the PDB Foundation. As with a traditional co-op, ACE students are paid to focus solely on their company and grow it over the course of a semester.

Jessica Woyton ’24, Heather Torella-McLoughlin ’24, and Gabriel Gomez ’24 hadn’t considered turning their project into a business before ACE. The biomedical engineering majors created a medical device that protects a patient’s sutures during recovery, preventing tears that could lead to infection and scarring. They were inspired by a family friend of Woyton’s who underwent a double mastectomy.

“I [wished] I could give her that confidence back and make her feel like she’s back to normal, that it’s not letting the cancer disrupt her daily life,” said Woyton.

An early example of the sports drink Pinto created, as presented at the 2022 Rapid Pitch Competition.

Each of them brings something unique to the team: Gomez, manufacturing; Torella-McLoughlin, outreach and organization; Woyton, research and communications. Within a month of connecting, they’d made a prototype in Woyton’s Tudbury dorm room.

Their first-year engineering design professor encouraged them to take their project to the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) conference in Minneapolis, Minn., where they presented their work during the student poster session. The feedback ignited the group, and when Torella-McLoughlin found out about ACE through Wentworth Co-ops and Careers, she and Woyton knew they had to apply. Gomez completed his co-op at an Allston-based engineering firm, gaining vital insight into the manufacturing process.

It’s a far cry from entrepreneurship “not even being on [their] radar, not even a little bit,” said Gomez.

Cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship at Wentworth has been Accelerate’s mission since it relaunched following a pandemic pause. In the past year alone, over 20% of Wentworth students participated in an Accelerate program, attended an event, or utilized the Makerspace to bring their projects to life. Some decided to turn their ideas into businesses, and some discovered new passions or paths to a career. For now, Lucas and her team are focused on the building blocks of this effort and laying the groundwork for transforming Wentworth into a center for innovation.

Profiles

Meet Wentworth Alumni Association President Casey Galante

As a Wentworth student, Casey Galante earned both Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees. Upon graduation, she immersed herself in industry, but remained very closely connected to her alma mater, attending multiple events, mentoring students, and joining the board of the Wentworth Alumni Association (WAA).

Today, she is busier than ever, working as a marketing manager for Suffolk Construction while also serving on Wentworth’s Board of Trustees and as WAA president. She shares what the first several months of her president tenure have been like and the grand plans she has for the future of the WAA.

Greg Abazorius: You’ve been WAA president for a few months now—what has that felt like? Was it a longtime goal you had?

Casey Galante: The past few months have been exciting! Having been on the board since 2014, I knew there’d come a time when I would be up for the job, and I’m honored that the board voted for me this year. I have a lot of big plans for the WAA and how we align with Wentworth and our alumni. One of the best aspects of being the WAA president so far has been meeting trustees and staff, and getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Thompson (President Mark Thompson and Karyn Thompson). It was fun to be involved with the commencement ceremony in August and welcome students into our Alumni Association. In 2012, I got to sit on stage for my undergrad graduation ceremony as the carrier of the student creed book, so it felt like things were coming full circle as I sat on stage 11 years later as the WAA president.

Casey Galante (in magenta) speaks during the 2023 Women @ Wentworth event.

I still have much to learn about Wentworth and how my role as president can make a difference for the WAA, but I’m excited to work.

Greg: What are some areas that you are addressing right away in this role?

Casey: One area is how the WAA is evolving and aligning itself with the university, the Office for Alumni Relations, and our growing alumni community. We have such a strong legacy as a board, and I’d like to look at how best to honor this legacy while also looking at our future. My biggest questions are: how can we adapt, what are the changing needs of our alumni, and how do we attract new members to join the WAA?

In my experience, Wentworth students and alumni are very driven by their careers, so I’d love to explore how the WAA can be integrated into their professional networks and become an organization that they view as a beneficial connection for their careers and co-ops.

Greg: What are your top three goals for your term as president?

Casey: One is to add new members from across the country and a diversity of majors. Second, look for opportunities for student engagement by working with campus departments and clubs. And third, develop goals for our alignment with the university. I want to make sure that the WAA stays relevant and connected to students and Wentworth’s evolving community and culture.

Greg: Tell me a little about the work you’re doing now outside of Wentworth. Any aspects of it you’re especially excited about?

Casey: I’m a marketing manager for Pursuit Marketing at Suffolk Construction, and I truly love my job and working at Suffolk. For those that don’t know, for the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry, projects are competitively bid on by firms. My job is to respond to a client’s request for proposals and create a deliverable that shows the client we understand their project and why we would be the best partner to build their project. I love being able to leverage my architecture background, graphic skills, and creative thinking on each proposal I work on. With each proposal, I challenge myself to do better than the last, whether that be through storytelling or graphics. It’s also exciting to know that our work in pursuit marketing comes full circle. If we win a pursuit, that becomes a project for our teams to work on, and their work in the field creates a positive experience, which then helps us on pursuits.

Outside of work and WAA responsibilities, I’m currently consumed by wedding planning, projects at our condo, seeing family and friends, and keeping up with a tenacious wheaten terrier named Logan.

Greg: If an alum is reading this article, and they haven’t engaged with Wentworth in a while, what is something you want to say to them about coming back to their alma mater?

Casey: My recommendation is to reconnect with someone you went to school with or a professor you had, attend a local alumni

event, or simply read the newsletters and magazines when they go out. This is a great place to start. Engaging with Wentworth doesn’t have to mean giving back financially: it’s connecting with our community in small ways.

You also don’t have to be in the Boston area to reengage with Wentworth. We love to see alumni in other parts of the country hosting events that bring alumni together. If you want to become more involved, consider joining the WAA. We meet every other month throughout the year and have open positions for director roles. Joining the board has expanded my network, continued the connections I made as a student and Admissions Ambassador, and allowed me more chances to get back to campus.

It’s funny, even some of my friends that live in Boston haven’t been back to campus in 10 years. I always say to them, just walk through campus if you’re in the neighborhood, and stop at Il Mondos for a slice of buffalo chicken pizza and nostalgia. See the new CEIS building and the new athletic field that is underway.

If you believe that Wentworth had at least one positive impact on you, we’d love to hear from you and find ways to reconnect.

Celebrating the Life of Keith Blackey

By Danna Lorch

One of Wentworth’s most beloved and dedicated alumni, Keith Blackey, Electrical Engineering ’73, passed away at age 78 in 2023. Although he lived on the West Coast for four decades, Mr. Blackey made a regular pilgrimage to the university to attend the Annual Veterans Luncheon.

For weeks before each year’s event, Mr. Blackey, a veteran himself, would painstakingly cut out all 50 individual stars from retired American flags. These would then be handed out to each guest with a handshake or salute.

His wife of 44 years, Liz Blackey, has one last box of Mr. Blackey’s stars to bring to campus when she visits this fall to accept the Gold Leopard Award her husband received posthumously. She said, “Keith would have been over the moon knowing about this very special honor.”

The Award is the highest of its kind granted by the Wentworth Alumni Association, recognizing individuals exemplifying long-term commitment and outstanding loyalty to the Institute and to the nation.

Mr. Blackey’s life was truly all about loyalty and service.

Born in Laconia, N.H., in 1945 to Virginia Blackey, a homemaker, and Philip Blackey, an officer in the Army, he crisscrossed the globe as a military kid, frequently changing schools in Puerto Rico, Panama, and numerous states back in the U.S. The Boy Scouts of America provided him with continuity, solid values, and friends wherever his family was stationed.

Mr. Blackey served in the Army himself during the Vietnam War, flying reconnaissance missions as a flight engineer on the A-3 Skywarrior. Like many of his contemporaries, he attended Wentworth on the GI Bill as a first-generation college student. He aced electrical engineering with a 3.8 GPA and served as class president his junior and senior years.

His larger-than-life personality, gift for public speaking, unflappable demeanor, and ability to empathetically listen made Mr. Blackey an outstanding sales and marketing leader—first in the tech industry and later in global administration for three decades, managing teams across continental borders.

However, the achievement Mr. Blackey was proudest of was raising two sons with Liz: Michael Keith Blackey and Gregory Keith Blackey. He was a volunteer soccer coach when the boys were young, and ultimately became a youth soccer referee, a hobby he carried on for years.

It was a love of children and children’s causes that also motivated Mr. Blackey to raise funds for the Iraqi Scouts Association. This led to an assignment in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he lived from 2012 to 2013, working as an advisor, expanding, and raising funds for the Afghan Scouts program in 11 provinces. The role brought together all of his international experience and business skills and let him give back to children the same sense of belonging that the Scouts offered him as a young boy when he had needed it the most.

He came back truly changed—inspired by the courageous, welcoming Afghans he met—and determined to share the experience with Americans.

Back in the Bay Area, and later in Las Vegas, where he and Liz moved more recently, Mr. Blackey constantly reached out to Wentworth alumni on the West Coast, organizing everyone into a community and hosting events such as an annual Oakland A’s game against his favorite team, the Red Sox.

In his later years, Mr. Blackey doted on granddaughters Kimberly, Rosalie, and Marcelee, and grew active in the Vietnam Veterans of America, Rotary International, The American Legion, and numerous other service-based organizations.

In lieu of flowers, Mr. Blackey’s family asks that donations be made in his name to Wentworth. For assistance, please contact Katie DePrimo, executive director of alumni relations & annual giving, at 617-989-4218.

Engineering Success:

Wentworth Graduates on the Importance of Mentoring Students

Hannah Schulze, Biomedical Engineering ’18, and Abbie Petersen, Electromechanical Engineering ’20, met as Wentworth resident assistants, and they’ve been friends and confidants ever since. They recently chatted with one another about mentorship and the transition from co-op to career.

Hannah Schulze: You’ve been in an engineering role for a few years now. What do you remember about the transition from co-op to full-time employee?

Abbie Peterson: It was April 2020, so just as the world was shutting down, I’d accepted a job transfer to California. I stayed at the same company, but I shifted to a different team at an office almost 3,000 miles away.

Before graduation, I was trying to wrap up part-time co-op work, finish my capstone, and prepare to relocate. It was a really overwhelming time. In all honesty, I should have done a better job of reaching out to my mentors because they could have put things in perspective. I think that would have probably helped me wrap my head around everything a bit better.

Hannah: How did you go about finding those mentors as a co-op?

Abbie: I had an informal mentor during my first co-op, but I didn’t recognize it as mentorship until we started scheduling regular meetings. When I started full time, I realized that I was fortunate to have that relationship early on. They were interested in my projects, connected me to conference opportunities, and reviewed my resume. When I reflect on that time, it reminds me that mentorship isn’t always formal. We benefit from both formal and informal influences.

Hannah: Transitions present a lot of unknowns and new challenges. How can we, as professionals, help support students through these times?

Abbie: From co-op to career, the scope of work changes because your impact level is higher. That can be really daunting when you’re used to four-month co-ops. You’re moving from short projects or projects that aren’t necessarily on a critical work path to projects that could last years, depending on the company and the industry. It’s reasonable to expect more responsibilities as you move up in the company, but the weight of those expectations is a career-long conversation. Mentors and managers need to set their new employees up for a reasonable learning curve.

Hannah: What does mentorship look like for you now, as a full-time engineer?

Abbie: Mentorship is meaningful at all levels because there’s always that hope to grow, improve, and frankly, keep up. Chances are, there’s someone out there who’s felt the way you feel about your life and career at one point or another, and you can learn from them if you’re open to it. I’m still figuring out what drives me, and my mentors help me identify goals and move forward in that exploration.

Hannah holds a B.S. in biomedical engineering from Wentworth and a M.A. in technical communication from Texas Tech University. She currently works as a technical marketing writer, serving clients in engineering services, embedded design, and test/validation. Hannah does her best thinking on a good walk, so she’s keen to get outside.

Abbie holds a B.S. in electromechanical engineering. After graduating from Wentworth Institute of Technology in 2020, she joined Teradyne’s California office as a hardware engineer working on signal delivery solutions. After two years of exploring local hiking trails and national parks, she relocated to Teradyne’s Boston office. In her current role as an RF systems engineer, she is responsible for ensuring that products meet customers’ technical specifications. Back in Boston, she enjoys running on the esplanade and cuddling with her cats.
