Student Engagement

Student Organizations

Student Organizations help students find community, build a sense of belonging outside of the classroom, and enhance their academic and social interests. A complete listing of student organizations may be found on LeopardSpot at https://wit.campuslabs.com/engage. The Involvement Fairs in September and January give all students an opportunity to connect with recognized groups.

Leadership

Students may self-select to participate in the leadership seminars and programs offered by the Center for Student Life. Offered to students multiple times throughout the year, these programs are designed to teach a variety of leadership skills and approaches, to engage students in the practice of leadership, and provide opportunities to develop a personalized leadership style.

Student Transitions

New first-year and transfer students participate in programs designed to facilitate their success at Wentworth through in-person and online New Student Orientation in the summer, Wentworth Opening Week in the fall, and ongoing support throughout the fall semester. Specific programming is offered for transfer students and international students. Senior Week and other programs specifically for graduating students help seniors bring closure to their time at Wentworth and stay connected with their classmates after graduation.

Family Engagement

There are several opportunities for family members to connect with our community. First, family members can participate in the Family Orientation program that coincides with New Student Orientation the summer before a student's first year at Wentworth. Families can also participate in Wentworth's annual Family Weekend each October. The Center for Student Life aims to create ongoing connections with families throughout the year through a variety of virtual programs and the family newsletter.

Graduate Student Life

Wentworth is committed to support for and building community among our growing graduate student population. The Center for Student Life provides opportunities for graduate students to engage with a Graduate Student Council, programming specifically designed for the graduate student experience that enhance their connection to Wentworth.
