WPI has been absolutely amazing for me! The project-based curriculum and the WPI Plan (that's 3 courses per quarter) have really given me the opportunity to dive deeper into the material that I'm interested in. Better still, the community at WPI gives everyone a place to feel welcome and explore their passions. Feel free to reach out with any questions or just to chat about WPI!
Concert Band
I play the bass clarinet in the concert band! I started a few weeks into A term of my Freshman year and it has been a really exciting experience. We have 1-2 concerts every term and rehearse a few times a week. Every few years we even have a concert tour where we travel outside of the state or country!
Jazz Ensemble
I play the alto saxophone and the clarinet in the WPI Jazz Ensemble. I am also the PR chair for the WPI Jazz Groups, so be sure to check us out on social media! There are 3 jazz groups on campus and each one has a concert every term.
Catholic Newman Club
Being part of the Catholic Newman Club has been a really amazing experience! I joined Freshman year and everyone was so welcoming that I eventually became the Music Coordinator that same year. There are so many groups on campus that allow you to be with people who share your beliefs, interests, and passions, so be sure to check them out!
