Resilience: Wentworth President's Report 2021

Resilience WENTWORTH PRESIDENT’S REPORT / FISCAL YEAR 2021

Campus Alive!

AS THE FALL 2021 SEMESTER KICKED OFF, new and familiar faces converged on campus, and students were able to return to a full slate of on-campus classes and amenities.

The abundance of activity on campus and in the classroom is no accident—it is thanks to the steadfast support of people like you. Because of your generosity, we have been able to keep Wentworth running through the pandemic and expand offerings to students as it became safer to do so.

Now campus is fully alive again! We have been able to return to many of the traditions you might remember—including in-person Commencement ceremonies—as well as forge new ones like the recently held First-Year Convocation event.

Within these pages you’ll find more about what transformative support for students looks like and how even in the toughest of times Wentworth students, alumni, and friends personify resilience.

Wentworth President’s Report / Fiscal Year 2021

Hello!

ONE OF THE THINGS I enjoy most about my work is that it gives me the opportunity to meet people with the same interests and passions that I have: higher education, STEM and design education, bridging the gap between potential and educational opportunity, and working together to make the world a better place for all. Care for and support of our students has been a consistent theme as I have met with so many of you. Clearly, your commitment to support students through Wentworth is a powerful driver of your engagement, and I am grateful to have had the chance to connect with so many of you during my first year at Wentworth.

Starting my time at Wentworth during the COVID-19 pandemic brought its own challenges, but what it revealed, without a doubt, is the deep care and commitment of our community. Thanks to you, our students did not miss a beat pursuing their education—whether through innovative co-op experiences that provided students opportunities during the pandemic, or increased scholarship support ensuring all Leopards had a chance to continue their studies.

Your steadfast generosity has been deeply moving to observe and serves as a reminder of why I chose Wentworth: because we offer a hands-on education that improves lives. As we emerge from the pandemic, the world needs Wentworth now more than ever. The world needs our graduates now more than ever, who bring with them resilience combined with a practical yet creative mindset that ensures professional success and brings real-world problem-solving skills to the workforce.

This report shares many of the ways our community stepped up over the last year. The Wentworth Cares Fund, sponsored capstone projects, innovative industry partnerships, a record-breaking fall Golf Tournament at The Pinehills, and Team #WentWorthIt are how I have personally seen you and others demonstrate kindness, ingenuity, and grit over the last year.

President Thompson’s strategic pillars of inclusive excellence, high-value learning, transformative student experience, and next-generation partnerships offer a clear path to ensure that the Wentworth community realizes our fullest potential. And it is thanks to his leadership and your partnership that the University is positioned for continued success.

I am so grateful for your support. I look forward to meeting many, many more of you in the year to come!

Warmest regards, Crate Herbert Vice President, Institutional Advancement and External Relations herbertc1@wit.edu

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT THOMPSON

Dear Alumni and Friends, IN LAST YEAR’S PRESIDENT’S REPORT, Wentworth’s Board Chair Greg Janey and I were able to highlight how Wentworth had responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and how we were positioned for the uncertainty of the year ahead. Now, one year later, I can share how much we accomplished while recognizing some of the challenges we endured.

Writing this annual letter to you, our strongest supporters and cherished community members, provides an opportunity for me to pause and reflect on where we were in 2020. The last year tested us: We faced times when members of our community could not return to campus due to travel restrictions, we faced the shift of in-person coursework to remote, online learning, and we faced the loss of normalcy and connection with one another. However, a guiding light throughout the last year was our ability to face these challenges as one community—one Wentworth—conquering these challenges resiliently.

Today, we are looking toward a bright future.

Central to our identity, Wentworth has always been positioned to respond to the needs of the moment.

We are closely tied in with industry and able to pivot quickly to ensure our success. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated Wentworth’s ability to do just that.

Over the last year, we continued to make significant progress toward achieving the university’s strategic priorities established in 2019 while overcoming the day-to-day pandemic challenges we confronted in 2020. Toward our goal of creating a transformative student experience, we focused on two key areas that have significant impact for our students. We notably enhanced our Center for Wellness this summer, moving it to a brighter, refreshed, and expanded space on the second floor of Williston Hall. This important upgraded space is helping us to foster a culture of health and wellness for our students. As I noted in the Strategic Plan, we know that when we help students live healthy lives in a supportive environment, we boost their capacity to learn, work, and take full advantage of their Wentworth educational experience.

This fall, we launched the Success Studio, a new space in Beatty Hall that is home to an integrated, one-stop shop for students dedicated to seamless academic advising, support, and student success.

As I have outlined in the strategic plan, we have a responsibility to maximize student return on investment in a Wentworth education, and we must provide the highest quality of services in response to all aspects of student needs. The new Success Studio is positioned to help us accomplish this goal.

While the last year has been challenging, it has demonstrated the significant accomplishments we can make when we come together as the Wentworth community. In looking toward the future, we will be on an unstoppable path with the support of alumni and friends like you.

No matter how you chose to support Wentworth, we are thankful for your involvement. Throughout this report, you will see why members of our community give back. “Why I Give” will introduce you to alumni and friends of the institution who have chosen to help Wentworth succeed in the most challenging times.

Large gifts, like Douglas Schumann giving $500,000 to the Wentworth Cares Fund, allow us to respond to immediate student needs. However, gifts under $100 add up to over $54,384 collectively and make a great impact on the lives of our students. With much uncertainty still ahead, your support is needed now more than ever to meet the needs of tomorrow and ensure our students succeed.

Beyond financial support, there are many opportunities for members of the greater community to remain involved with Wentworth. Perhaps you’d like to host a Wentworth student for a co-op this year or mentor current students in your professional area. Be sure to stay connected with the Wentworth Alumni Association to give back in a way that makes sense for you.

I invite you to read about the exciting opportunities the last year presented coupled with news about where we are going. As an institution responsive to the needs of today, we celebrate our progress and the future you will help us create. I invite you all to journey with us as we are one Wentworth.

With gratitude, Mark A. Thompson, Ph.D. President

Q&A WITH RICK GRUNDY

Committed to Success A Q&A with Rick Grundy ’03, Wentworth Trustee and new chair of the University Advisers

Rick Grundy’s story is one that epitomizes Wentworth career success. Grundy chose AVTECH—an international software and hardware developer and manufacturing company head­ quartered in New England—for an optional co-op during his sophomore year of college. Today, he is the company’s president.

Grundy, Computer Science ’03, has long served as a member of the Wentworth Alumni Association, and he currently chairs the University Advisers, a group dedicated to the welfare of Wentworth and its students. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees. Grundy shares why he is so passionate about his alma mater, where he thinks things are heading, and how others can engage with the university.

Greg Abazorius, Director of Content, Wentworth: The University Advisers structure is still relatively new for Wentworth. What impact have you seen the group make so far and what attracted you to wanting to be its chair?

Rick Grundy, President, AVTECH: While the group is still relatively new, its membership is made up of individuals who have been committed to Wentworth’s success for quite some time. University Advisers include former trustees, alumni, and industry professionals who serve as ambassadors to the university by volunteering their experience, leadership, expertise, and connection to industry partnerships to support Wentworth’s mission.

Through the President’s Office, our goal is to foster engagement with groups and departments across Wentworth to assist with the development of programs and projects to support the strategic plan. These efforts are now more important than ever as Wentworth embarks on its bold new plan in the years ahead. I’m incredibly thankful for my Wentworth education and the tools and experience it has provided me. I’m honored to chair the University Advisers to help ensure that kind of positive experience is possible for Wentworth graduates well into the future.

Greg: Thinking about that progression, what kind of advancements have you seen the university make even in the time since you were a student here?

Rick: The last two decades have represented a period of remarkable transformation. When I attended, Wentworth was just starting to make the transition from being primarily a commuter school to residential. There were even lockers in the basement of Wentworth Hall and Beatty Hall! This transition culminated in the opening of 610 Huntington in my final year. Since then, Wentworth has continued to invest in new and upgraded residential facilities, as well as new state-of-the-art labs and new and improved academic buildings.

We have seen the launch of many new and exciting academic programs including Biomedical Engineering, Cybersecurity, and many others. Entrepreneurship and innovation were given a creative outlet and support through the Accelerate program, and the development of graduate programs led to Wentworth attaining university status. All of this and much more was accomplished while maintaining the core values and ideology of a Wentworth student—a hands-on learner who gets things done.

Wentworth will no longer Greg: From a sophomore year co-op to president, it’s been quite the journey for you at AVTECH!

be the region’s best-kept

Rick: Having grown up on the south coast of Massachusetts, my primary search criteria was to locate a software company in Newport, R.I., thinking that would be a great place to spend the summer. I joined AVTECH at a time of substantial transition and quickly earned the opportunity to tackle large and significant projects.

At the conclusion of my sophomore co-op, I continued working at AVTECH part time while back in class, and continued there for both my junior and senior co-ops.

Following graduation, I joined AVTECH full time and had the opportunity to build out an engineering team from the ground up. The products we develop are trusted by some of the largest organizations in the world and in every branch of the military, and they are now installed in 187 countries around the globe. My roles continued to grow from technical services manager to product development manager, engineering manager, director of engineering, VP of engineering, and ultimately president in December of 2015. As president, we have established a subsidiary in Ireland, opened a sales office in Dubai, acquired a standalone manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania, and have seen revenues more than double in less than five years.

I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished over the past 20 years. I’m even more proud that this all started from a Wentworth co-op, and I try to pay that forward each and every semester by collaborating with co-ops and interns from Wentworth and other area schools. In fact, a number of our employees started as Wentworth co-ops also!

secret; it will instead be

Greg: In talking with students or others directly connected to Wentworth during the pandemic, is there a certain resilience or creativity you saw on display?

Rick: There’s a reason Wentworth stands out as a success story in the face of incredible challenges.

Its students, staff, and leadership faced the issue head-on and did whatever was necessary to continue on. The entire Wentworth community collectively rolls up their sleeves and works on solutions. For years, this attitude and approach has been one of the bestkept secrets about what makes Wentworth special.

In many ways, the pandemic accelerated industry trends that were already starting to emerge. It has transformed industries and further accelerated the digital integration of legacy businesses. Wentworth’s curriculum is agile, dynamic, and well-suited for the technologies and skills that will be required post-COVID. Wentworth’s high degree of technical competency also allowed the entire Wentworth community to adapt to new work and learning modalities with little disruption. The pandemic truly highlighted the value of the Wentworth approach and the value of a Wentworth education.

Greg: What do you see for Wentworth’s future?

Greg: In terms of engaging or getting involved with Wentworth, what would you recommend?

Rick: There are many ways: If your organization could use talented employees with a high work ethic and strong, tactical training, the CO-OPS + CAREERS office can help you recruit current students and recent graduates.

The Wentworth Alumni Association (WAA) provides an excellent avenue for alumni to engage and become involved. I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve on the board of directors of the WAA prior to joining the University Advisers.

There are even opportunities to work through the academic and institutional advancement offices to speak to current students in the classroom and to sponsor senior capstone projects.

I would welcome anyone interested to connect with me on LinkedIn and I would be happy to discuss how they can become more involved.

Rick: As a graduate of the Computer Science program, I am especially excited about the recent launch of the Cybersecurity program. This is a dynamic program that will need to constantly evolve to keep pace with new threats and the ever-changing needs of industry. That is really at the heart of what makes Wentworth successful both now and into the future. The programs it develops and the skills it teaches are in high demand in industry, making Wentworth students highly sought after in whatever industry they seek.

Wentworth’s visibility and recognition both in the region and across the country continue to increase.

Greater numbers of alumni are getting involved and engaging with various programs within the school.

Industry partners are looking to Wentworth not just for co-ops, but also for research grants and product development in partnership with capstone projects.

Soon Wentworth will no longer be the region’s best-kept secret; it will instead be its greatest success story.

UNIVERSITY NEWS & UPDATES

Getting Involved Teradyne Boosting Access to STEM Teradyne has joined Wentworth in its efforts to increase the number of women and other underrepresented groups of students in STEM. The company dramatically increased its commitment to students in 2021 through a multipronged gift to the following: • $45,000 to RAMP • $45,000 to Beacon Pathways • $15,000 Women@Wentworth Premier Sponsorship • $6,000 for the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fund “Wentworth’s commitment to attracting and supporting the success of diverse engineering students is impressive,” said Andy Blanchard, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Teradyne. “Its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs align well with Teradyne and our employees’ view that strong technical education for all provides the foundation for long-term professional, business, and community success.”

RAMP is a pre-college summer bridge for Boston youth, designed to help students navigate from high school to college. Beacon Pathways is a collaboration with Boston Public Schools that aims to increase the attendance, retention, and graduation rates of Boston youth.

In addition to its financial contributions to Wentworth, Teradyne continues to hire co-ops and graduates, as well as host students at their headquarters to promote opportunities in the field. In 2019, the company partnered with Wentworth and the JFK Library Foundation to host “Whatever It Takes to Achieve the Impossible: Ambitious and Innovative Moonshot Projects.” The event took place during President Thompson’s inauguration week and commemorated the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.

An automatic test equipment designer and manufacturer, Teradyne is based in North Reading, Mass.

Wentworth President’s Report / Fiscal Year 2021

Innovative Partnerships Wentworth students are privy to some of the deepest industry connections in higher education thanks to various leaders who have partnered with the university. And students are consistently working on real-world projects, providing solutions to a host of industry challenges.

One innovative partnership currently taking place tackles the issue of global supply chains. Logic, a new venture by University Adviser Michael Santora, Architecture and Civil Engineering ’05, is aiming to change the shipping industry with a roboticized pallet and container made with recycled aluminum that would eliminate dangerous forklifts and wasteful wooden pallets, as well as reduce the size of warehouses by 40 percent.

“Currently, goods will come into Boston and get shipped hours away to get sorted and stored, only to be brought back to where we are. With this system, we can have real urban logistics with smaller warehouses located where the people are and reduce all of that shipping,” Santora said.

In order to bring the project to life, Santora is partner­ ing with the Wentworth community, providing students and professors a chance to work on a live robot that could have long-lasting effects on the rest of the world.

“These students opened it up and knew pieces that even I didn’t know! And that’s the kind of thinking that I want because that’s the kind of thinking that’s going to give us the future,” said Santora. “We don’t want to be dealing with legacy technology; we want fresh minds looking to what’s next.”

For School of Engineering Dean Jose Sanchez and School of Computing and Data Science Dean Durga

Suresh-Menon, the project allows multiple disciplines to come together and help create an innovative tool in a hands-on way.

“In this one project, there is a computer scientist, a mechanical engineer, and an electrical engineer working together with their students from even more majors talking about a robot that can be applied to so many different fields,” said Suresh-Menon. “We are not a school where people are talking about things in theory.

Everything is application.”

Students like Trey Pierce, Electromechanical Engineering ’22, are working specifically on sensors for motion control and object avoidance.

“My hope is that by the end I will have a great understanding of both electro and mechanical systems and how they intertwine,” said Pierce. “I’m getting exposed to new techniques and technology, new ideas.

I think this can really expand my horizons as an upand-coming engineer.”

Lufkin Memorial Fund Aiding Women in Mechanical Engineering During this past academic year, the Richard H. Lufkin Memorial Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee (Lufkin Memorial Fund) awarded Wentworth two grants that supported students majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

These grants provide students who are typically under­ represented in the major with financial assistance that will directly help them pursue their undergraduate studies and graduate from Wentworth with an engineering degree.

In September 2020, the foundation awarded the university a $100,000 grant that provided scholarships for 20 female mechanical engineering majors. On reflecting how this scholarship impacted her, one student

shared, “It means the world to me that there are people who want to see students succeed just as much as the student themselves. It gives me renewed strength, knowing I am not the only one who cares to see my academic career soar.”

And, in June 2021, Wentworth received a second $100,000 grant from the Lufkin Memorial Fund for additional scholarship support for females and other students typically underrepresented in Mechanical Engineering. Scholarships from this second grant will be awarded to 20 students during the 2021–2022 academic year.

NEW INITIATIVES AT WENTWORTH

Investing in Our Students New Initiatives Aim to Improve Student Success and Well-Being

THE FALL 2021 SEMESTER ushered in new tools for students to find what they need and attain a better overall experience at Wentworth.

Success Studio Over the summer, the Center for Academic Excellence was enhanced to become the Success Studio, an integrated, one-stop shop for students dedicated to seamless academic advising, accessibility and academic support, and student success.

Located centrally on the third floor of Beatty Hall, students can find: • tutoring and academic support • first-year and transfer student academic advising • student accessibility services International Student Services, Financial Aid & Billing, and the Registrar’s Office continue to operate independently in their respective areas on campus.

Wellness Center The Center for Wellness was enhanced this summer, moving to a brighter, refreshed, and expanded space on the second floor of Williston Hall.

The Center now includes a designated student wellness room for students to destress, access wellness resources, and connect with one another. This upgraded space is helping to foster a culture of health and wellness, and furniture was selected by Wentworth design students.

“I’m really excited to have students in and get them access to all the important resources we have here for them,” said Class of 2022 Biomedical Engineering student Cathleen Hallinan, who has completed OneWIT leadership courses related to mental and emotional health, and served as a member of SWEET (Student Wellness and Education and Empowerment Team).

How to Find Everything Debuting at the same time was an added information section on the myWentworth app, in addition to a new website entitled “Who Can Help” (whocanhelp.wit.edu).

Both services were built to help students find resources on campus based on various topics, issues, or concerns. Categories include academic, emotional, financial, health and wellness, personal, sex and relationships, social, and spiritual.

WHO ARE YOU? New Dining Options Wentworth officials spent time talking with students, faculty, and staff about existing dining options, listening to feedback in open forums and through surveys.

Working with the Colleges of the Fenway Dining Services Committee and Wentworth’s Student Government Dining Committee, they selected Sodexo as the new campus food provider.

Noting that “quality food and dining are central to positive life experiences and wellness,” President Mark Thompson said that Sodexo will be conducting focus groups and engaging students to develop menu options. Wentworth will also be moving to an all-you-care-to-eat structure.

“They have a lot more options now, including vegan options. It’s a lot more accessible for everybody,” said Yianni Papadopoulos, Management ’22, adding that the all-day breakfast option is already a favorite.

The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has introduced The Story of Us, a series of workshops and events where students, faculty, and staff come together to learn about themselves and connect with one another through the art of storytelling.

Participants are engaging in self-reflection, interpersonal communication, and creative expression.

The workshops—“Reflections,” “Stories We Could Tell,” “The Story,’” and “Take a Bow”—build upon one another, culminating in the opportunity to share their stories at a live community-wide event scheduled for November.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

T he Power of Financial Support It has oft been said that the pandemic does not discriminate in relation to who is impacted. But this sentiment is especially true for students and families who have carried an increased financial burden over the last year.

Whether a sudden layoff made buying books harder, hospital bills took away savings that were reserved for room and board, or the sudden need for a scholarship meant the difference between going to college or not, the power of donors and financial support for our students was underscored this past year.

“COVID-19 turned everything upside down. I was still living on campus, so I acutely felt the real-world and college impact at the same time. My co-op was considered essential since [my company] produces medical devices and I was able to continue working from home. Wentworth quickly found new ways for students to connect with staff and faculty.

I find myself grateful that my professors were able to guide us from afar. Your gift to Wentworth this year demonstrated your commitment to my education. When the world around me felt so uncertain, you had my back and didn’t give up on me.”

Simon Chin Lee, Mechanical Engineering ’21, ROTC cadet and a US Army veteran

Wentworth President’s Report / Fiscal Year 2021

$4.85 million Total gifts made by 2,201 alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends in fiscal year 2021

Schumann Cares Douglas D. Schumann has been woven into Wentworth’s fiber for some time now. An Aircraft Maintenance graduate in 1964 and honorary degree recipient in 2008, he joined the Board of Trustees in 1989 and has been a Trustee Emeritus since 1999.

But it is Schumann’s philanthropy for which he is perhaps best known. The Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Commons, as well as the Schumann Fitness Center, are both thanks to his efforts. When Wentworth students needed the most help, he once again stepped in, making a leading gift of $500,000 to the Wentworth Cares Fund and challenging others to contribute.

The Fund was established as a way to respond to student needs during the pandemic. Gifts have gone directly toward helping relocate students during lockdown; refunding student costs for housing, board, and auxiliary expenses not used; providing work-study stipends to students working for the university; and providing care, counseling, and academic advising to students, among other measures.

ISAIAH, Mechanical Engineering ’23 “This past year, as members of the Costume Club, we developed our passions for design and worked with our classmates in the Makerspace to create.”

TESSA, Business Management ’21 “Because of your support, our class sizes were able to remain small and I was able to work closely with my professor, and my Group Processes and Teambuilding class on a project focused on Facilities Management for the Women’s Council.

It was so nice to be back together with my classmates and working toward a common goal.”

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Campaign Helps Create New Scholarships Money alone should never be a barrier to an education.

Alan and Jennifer Fournier

This idea is the root of the $10 million Advancing Student Access and Potential (ASAP) Scholarship Matching Challenge, a campaign spearheaded by President Mark Thompson that increases the amount of permanent financial aid available to students.

Through the ASAP Challenge, Wentworth takes $5 million of unrestricted earnings from its endowment to match, dollar for dollar, the creation of new endowed scholarships of $25,000 or more, or gifts of $25,000 or more to existing scholarships, thereby doubling their value and impact.

Between the start of the challenge last year and the end of the fiscal year on June 30, $4,858,142 was raised for the challenge.

Dan Flatley—a longtime Wentworth benefactor and a trustee of The Flatley Foundation, a family philanthropic organization supporting a variety of causes—has served as the lead donor thus far. In FY20 he made a $1.75 million gift for the Flatley Discovery Fund, a needs-based

ALEXANDRIA, Biomedical Engineering ’21 “Soccer has always been a huge part of my life, and, thanks to your support, I was able to spend my senior season with my best friends, teammates, and the Athletics staff.”

JACK, Architecture ’22 “Because of donors like you, I was able to focus more on my academics and less on how I was going to afford tuition. It means so much to me to know you have a vested interest in my success as a student.”

Wentworth President’s Report / Fiscal Year 2021

PETER, Computer Engineering ’21 “We’re proud to be able to get back on the court and play sports as Leopards.”

SAGE, Biomedical Engineering ’21 “The endowed scholarships I have received have greatly enhanced my time at Wentworth. They decrease the amount I need to borrow, so I can focus on my studies rather than worrying about money. It’s a huge burden that has been lifted off my shoulders, and I feel even more supported and encouraged to succeed here.”

scholarship for first-year students majoring in Biomedical Engineering, Biological Engineering, or applied sciences.

Alan Fournier is another longtime supporter of Wentworth and its students. He contributed to the ASAP Challenge by making a gift of $500,000 for the Fournier Family Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is awarded to Boston residents and students from KIPP Academy Massachusetts Public Charter Schools.

The Challenge also drew several first-time Wentworth donors, including The Architectural Team (TAT) and Jay Cashman, Inc. TAT—a leading planner and designer of multifamily housing—created The Architectural Team Endowed Scholarship through a $25,000 gift. This need-based scholarship for students pursuing degrees in Wentworth’s School of Architecture & Design intends to build a pipeline into professional practice for underrepresented students in the Boston area, directly addressing critical issues of access that have long challenged the design world.

“As we look to the future, supporting the talent and energy of tomorrow’s designers at all stages of their journey, from education into practice, is one of the best ways to ensure that our field will continue to push the envelope in addressing crucial issues ranging from affordable housing to coastal resiliency and sustainable building practices,” said Senior Partner and Managing

Principal Michael D. Binette, who joined TAT in 1982 as a co-op student and later graduated from Wentworth’s Architecture program in 1986.

Jay Cashman shares a similar philosophy when it comes to helping students achieve. The founder and chair of Cashman—one of the preeminent contractors and developers in heavy civil/marine construction, dredging, renewable energy, LNG/concrete tank design, project development, barge/equipment leasing, and mechanical construction industries—made a $50,000 gift to establish the Cashman Education Fund for Wentworth students.

“Investing in the future means investing in young, thriving students now. It is our mission as a family and as a community member to do all that we can to support the people who will shape the next generation of talent in our area,” said Cashman. “Wentworth is making significant contributions to the Bay State by challenging students to reach their highest potential.”

“Everything we do, every single day is for Wentworth students. Thank you for helping us cross the finish line in our goal for the Student Emergency Fund.”

TEAM #WENTWORTHIT

17

Virtual Event, Real-World Aid Team #WentWorthIt once again raised money for the Student Emergency Fund, this time through a virtual run/walk event.

SOME PARTICIPANTS stared down sweltering 90-degree heat while hitting the pavement in downtown Boston. Others cruised past picturesque oceanside vistas. And Jesse Correia and his dog, Gus, alternated between running and cooling off in Houghton’s Pond.

But no matter how the 18 members of Team #WentWorthIt participated in a special run/walk event on June 5, the goal was the same: Raise funds for Wentworth Institute of Technology’s Student Emergency Fund.

Team #WentWorthIt originally came together in 2016 as a group of students, faculty, and staff raising money for the Fund and running 200 miles in the Cape Cod Ragnar Relay. This year, Wentworth organized its own event.

Members participated in different locales individually with a team goal of raising $20,000. Each participant ran or walked between three and 15 miles for a total of 90 miles.

Dean of Students and Vice President of Student Affairs Annamaria Wenner had one of the earliest starts, heading out for her 13-miler at 5:00 a.m. “Pray for my knees!” she joked.

President Mark Thompson and Karyn Thompson were assigned three miles but ended up traversing 4.46. “We did a little extra to help encourage giving a little extra to the Student Emergency Fund,” said President Thompson.

The Thompsons took their walk near the ocean in Ogunquit, Maine, as water became a common theme on this blistering day. Katie Miller, associate director of the Annual Fund, walked near the beach in Scituate, Edie Waldsmith, Physical Plant, ran along Gloucester Harbor, and Kristin Tichenor, vice president for Enrollment Management, ran around the Westboro Reservoir.

Correia escaped the elevated temperatures at Blue Hills Reservation in Milton by taking dips in the pond.

“I thought the tree cover would help, but it created a little oven, so I had to switch up locations,” he said. “I literally kept stopping to swim with the pup.”

Like Correia, Director of Marketing Kelly Lin and Assistant Dean of Students Jenn Kosses traveled with

their pets. Robbin Beauchamp, director of CO-OPS + CAREERS, Peter Fowler, associate vice president for Student Affairs, Crate Herbert, vice president for Institutional Advancement and External Relations, and Maura Mulligan, associate dean/director of the Center for Wellness, all traveled around their respective neighborhoods. Hannah Pelletier, head coach of the women’s lacrosse team, conducted her run while on a family trip in a hotel gym.

Other team members stuck to the city. Annual Fund Director Katie DePrimo ran her 13 miles in Charlestown, Assistant Professor Andrew Seredinski kept close to the Wentworth campus, and Assistant Director of Community Development Ryan DePesa traversed downtown Boston and Cambridge.

“I hope that as the mercury is rising in thermometers across New England, so is our donation amount for the Student Emergency Fund,” said DePesa halfway through his run.

With a June 11 deadline to reach $20k, the team reported surpassing the challenge with $20,389.

The Fund provides financial relief for students facing unforeseen challenges, offering modest grants to students who need assistance with expenses including groceries, medical co-pays, books, supplies, and transportation costs.

“It feels good,” said Waldsmith, a Wentworth graduate (Building Construction Management ’19), on supporting the Fund. “It feels good knowing that students in financial need will have this valuable resource available to them.”

After completing her 13-mile goal for the day and then running an additional two miles, Wenner returned home. Proud of her teammates, she noted that there was still work to do.

“Every single penny goes to our students,” she said of the fundraiser. “Everything we do, every single day is for Wentworth students. Thank you for helping us cross the finish line in our goal for the Student Emergency Fund.”

SPONSORED CAPSTONE PROJECTS

Real Work, Real Opportunity Sponsored Capstones Allow Students Unparalleled Access and Mentorship

PREVENTING CATASTROPHES within a power grid.

Improving a mechanical fabrication shop’s workflow.

Upgrading a chocolate pump used by bakers. Analyzing the energy footprint of Wentworth’s campus.

These capstone projects are just a sample of the work that Wentworth students and faculty were able to conduct this year thanks to the support of various corporate sponsors.

A vital part of a senior’s final steps before graduation, capstone projects allow students to dive fully into areas that carry genuine consequences. But finding access to specific labs, equipment, and materials can often be a costly endeavor. For those projects that needed extra financial support, numerous corporate sponsors stepped in to allow Wentworth students to complete this important work and receive some guidance along the way.

Mike Betts, vice president for TG Gallagher, is one example of those within industry who value the contributions from Wentworth students.

“It was really memorable knowing that I was working with a well-known company that supplies power to most of New England and that it was an important project as far as our region of the country.”

Kai Shraiberg, Electromechanical Engineering, on work with Eversource

“Wentworth has a great connection to and reputation within the construction industry,” he said, noting that 50–60% of TG’s staff are from Wentworth. “When this opportunity presented itself, we jumped on board right away.

Students work collaboratively on capstones—often in an interdisciplinary fashion—to design and build a project to solve a real or imagined work-based challenge during their final year at Wentworth. In the case of sponsored capstones, students helped design processes or help solve various challenges for an organization.

Sponsors and their respective projects this summer included:

Eversource Detailing the audio signature of partial discharges on the electrical grid, as well as developing a device to wirelessly connect to the web and push that data to the cloud Students: Kai Shraiberg, Kai Arsenault, Mateus Millard, and Tom Casey, and Associate Professor James McCusker

“We started this project with just an idea. All of us were interested in sustainability, but we didn’t know what to do with it. But we got hooked up with them as mentors and they guided us through.”

CAPSTONES THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD Among the many senior capstones within all Wentworth schools that took place this past year were three conducted by Biological Engineering students.

These projects tackled weighty topics that could have an impact on a global scale, calling on students to use all four years of their Wentworth education to collaborate with faculty and work with those in other disciplines.

The projects included: • Identifying inhibitors of SARS-CoV2— including novel small molecules students designed—to investigate potential COVID-19 treatments, particularly for those who cannot yet be vaccinated.

• Researching how diet impacts the progression of Parkinson’s disease by experimenting on fruit flies with Parkinson’s mutations.

• Detecting heavy metals in soils, which can cause damage to nerves, hematopoietic systems, and kidneys when the body is exposed to them over time through food grown in contaminated conditions.

“We meet students where their imaginations send them by giving them the resources and autonomy they need to explore and develop unique solutions to some of the world’s most challenging problems,” said David Simpson, assistant professor and provost initiatives coordinator on Inclusive Excellence.

WHY I GIVE — my “I made my first gift to Wentworth — this year because I know senior class gift how important it is to give back to the university. I spent three years working for the student calling program on campus, the Leopard Line, and it taught me the value of donations and the importance of alumni donors.

I would not have been able to afford college without the generous support of alumni, and even though my gift this year does not equate to a scholarship for a student, I know that it’s still contributing to their education. Hopefully one day I’ll be in a position to make a more sizable donation that will further impact Wentworth students in the same way I was impacted.”

WHY I GIVE “My son, Mike, knew in elementary school that he wanted to become an architect, and Wentworth allowed him to achieve his dream.

Establishing a scholarship in Mike’s name, and donating to Wentworth, allows Mike’s memory to live on in other students’ ability to pursue their dreams.”
