From Coach Paul Bennett:
This team has been a labor of my life for the last 20 years and I see so much potential and opportunity to better our students’ experience; your donation helps us reach those goals. Words are never enough, but thank you from my very soul.
Your past support allowed us to return to our tradition of our annual retreat and to outfit our student-athletes with gear appropriate to their level of competition.
Our goal is to raise an additional $3,500 this year, but more importantly we really want more of our alumni to participate in the giving.
Meet Angus Zuwallack ‘24:
“Being part of the swim team has been one of my central experiences at WPI. The team has not only pushed me to become a better athlete, but a better student and person as well. By being a member of the team, I have learned important lessons such as the value of hard work and the dedication it takes to get better at something. The team has also helped me form long lasting friendships with other members who I may never have met if not for being on the team.
As a student on a pre-medicine track, I feel WPI's education has uniquely prepared me for my career path. After I graduate, I plan to attend medical school and become a physician specialized in emergency medicine. By receiving a project-based curriculum both my problem solving and people skills have improved. I hope to take the skills I've learned here to become the best physician I can be and to help those in need.”

Year after year, we have called on your generosity in supporting our student-athletes. And as every time before, we knew the teams could count on you.
With more than 1020 donors and over $192,000, your commitment has blown us away once again. Without a doubt, what you have achieved here this week will provide transformative support for WPI Athletics. You are the GOAT!
Stay tuned for additional thanks from the teams and final tallies next week. For now, rest assured that they have received your message loud and clear—you are someone who cares deeply about our student-athletes and who believes in them as they work toward their ambitious goals on and off the field and court.
It simply means the world to have you in our corner. Thank you.

We are in the final hours of GNGC2024 and appreciate all the support so far! Please help us reach our goal of at least $175k, as we demonstrate how important WPI Athletics means to all of us with our collective impact. If you’ve given already - thank you! and please help by reaching out to others and encourage their participation.
And when giving (or giving again!), please consider the WPI Athletics General Fund that helps all 600 student-athletes and our 18 teams with their care and performance development.
Go Goats!!
