RE-EMERGENCE, the process of coming back into prominence. Wentworth has emerged from the pandemic stronger, and is moving quickly toward an even bigger and brighter future. Read about the amazing things our community is doing and learn more about what we are building in the future within these pages.
Dear Alumni and Friends,
IN LAST YEAR’S PRESIDENT’S REPORT, we spoke of the resilience shown by our entire community—and all of you who support it—in keeping classes going during the pandemic, and working up to a successful return to campus and in-person activities.
This year, we are proud to talk about the way that resilience has turned into a complete renewal, with students and recent graduates thriving, alumni finding new ways to engage with their alma mater, and our plans to develop land that will continue to transform our campus into a major destination for students and industry partners alike.
The creation of a 640,000-square-foot mixed-use building at 500 Huntington Avenue will serve as a major focal point for Wentworth, a modern facility for our emerging life sciences programs that will also house vibrant commercial space. Likewise, an all-new athletic complex on Parker Street will facilitate NCAA-sanctioned space for the first time and offer public use to our Boston neighbors. Both projects are moving along rapidly.
We have taken major steps toward improving the student experience for both current students and future. The Success Studio has been highly transformative for current students, offering a suite of academic support and advising services, while major improvements have been made to both the Wellness Center and Accelerate, Wentworth’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center. And our new Beatty Dining Commons has earned rave reviews.
Impact Lab helps students in high school better identify what they want to do, and for people of any age who do not want the traditional college experience but want to better succeed in their field, Industry Corps provides them with that opportunity.
We are also furthering our mission of Inclusive Excellence, creating new programs and increasing scholarships for underrepresented populations. One such initiative is the Women @ Wentworth Undergraduate Leadership Program, which aims to develop leadership skills, build networks, and cultivate courage for a lifetime of success.
And finally, we have brought in highly skilled professionals to take over key roles at the university, and launched our inaugural Alumni Day, the latter of which brought back alumni who had not journeyed to campus in quite some time. We will repeat the event on May 23, 2023, and I look forward to seeing even more of you there!
I hope that you will read more about all these exciting items within the following pages, and I thank you for your ever-continued support.
With gratitude,
Mark A. Thompson, Ph.D. PresidentWe are proud to talk about the way that resilience has turned into a complete renewal.
RE-FRESH: Updated Branding
Approximately two years ago, Wentworth overhauled its branding and debuted new taglines. As our Marketing and Communications department reflected on the results of that work, we knew changes could be made.
In the spring, Wentworth’s Marketing and Communications team updated assets and guidelines to refresh the university’s branding and visual identity.
New banners were one of the first ways this refresh was represented on campus, featuring some of the talented people that make up our community and meant to create a more consistent look and feel.
The refined identity features the Wentworth wordmark prominently, with limited use of the shield and “W” graphic logos. And we now center our color palette on the traditional Wentworth “black and gold” style, which aligns well with Wentworth’s Athletics department and helps create more cohesion across the university.
To help others easily create their own printed and digital materials with the refreshed branding, a selfservice portal was also created.

I’ve had amazing opportunities, from being able to travel abroad to experiencing living in the heart of Boston.
Warming Up
Alumni and friends were excited to meet in person this past winter at the Port Royal Club in Naples, Florida, for dinner and to hear an update on plans for Wentworth in the new year. President Thompson, Board Chair Greg Janey, and Vice President of Institutional Advancement and External Relations Crate Herbert all spoke to the group, while Trustee Emeriti and alum Douglas Schumann AM ’64, Hon. ’08 served as host of the event.
The event was one of the first in-person events for Wentworth in 2022, and represented a slew of others that brought alumni and donors together for fun and learning opportunities.
Our thoughts are with all those who were impacted by Hurricane Ian this year, including those in the Naples, Florida area.
Night at the Museum
Wentworth donors and leadership came together this summer for a special dinner event in the private William I. Koch Gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
YEAR IN REVIEW
RE-CONNECTING: New Tradition Formed with Alumni Day
Under a brilliant May sun, a trio of young alumni tossed around a bean bag on the Quad, relaxing and sharing stories in proximity to a futuristic glass structure, new since their time as students.
“I had never seen this building before,” said Christopher Montero ’18 of the Center for Engineering, Innovation and Sciences (CEIS). “It’s amazing, and it’s part of the recent changes that I wanted to find on campus.”
Montero and his friends, Shirshak Sharma ’18 and Andy Tenhagan ’18, had returned to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology’s inaugural Alumni Day, which featured multiple tours and hands-on demonstrations, academic information sessions, a cocktail reception, and a special luncheon that brought back student-athletes for the Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony.
The group on the Quad had come from the Breakfast with the Deans event and several informational sessions before heading outside for lawn games. Each was eager to see firsthand how their alma mater had progressed, as well as reconnect with friends.
“It’s been fun to see the changes, and I really wanted to hear more about future plans,” said Sharma.
YEAR IN REVIEW
RE-EMERGING: Accelerate
With the Wentworth community back for a new semester and a fresh cohort of students discovering on-campus programming, Accelerate is in the midst of a renaissance.
Steered by new Director Ashley Lucas, as well as Associate Provost for Transformational Learning and Partnerships Susan Duffy and Lab Technician Tory Lam ’14, Wentworth’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center has re-emerged from a quiet period during the pandemic to once again being a prominent force on campus, available to all who have an idea.
The group is launching new programs—including an Entrepreneurship Capstone Pilot, an Industrial Design and Engineering course collaboration, and the Accelerator showcase—and made available an array of tools including laser cutters, 3D printers, sewing equipment, a full woodshop, spray paint booth, and a host of prototyping materials, all at no extra cost.
“Accelerate helps bring your ideas to life, and we’re open to everyone joining,” said Duffy.
Accelerate additionally created the inaugural entrepreneur-in-residence position, occupied by Logic Founder/CEO Michael Santora ’05. Santora—also a University Advisor—works directly with students on campus as they build the Logic robot as part of a capstone project, and he is serving as an advisor for all students involved in Accelerate who are looking to take their innovations to the next level.
“Accelerate is not just a plan to come up with ideas, it’s a plan to be able to try things in the real world,” Santora said. “I hope to bring a mix of business and technical expertise, and help students figure out viable ways to bring ideas to market.”

$2 Million Gift Launches Accelerate Co-op Experience
Entrepreneurship is one of the power skills of the 21st century. Like technological literacy and critical thinking, entrepreneurship—the ability to see what is, what could be, and how to get from point A to point B—has rapidly become a necessary skill for college graduates.
As part of its commitment to high-value learning and a high ROI for graduates, the university, in partnership with the Accelerate team, is creating opportunities for students to build confidence and competencies around this valuable skillset. For interested students, the Accelerate Co-op Experience, or ACE, will activate their entrepreneurial potential as early as their sophomore year.
Launching this new program was made possible through a generous $2 million gift from the PDB Foundation, which was inspired by the success of their previous gift to support an entrepreneurial co-op experience for rising seniors.
RE-NEWING: The Wentworth Dining Experience
When students arrived on campus this fall, they were greeted with new sights and smells in a renewed Beatty Dining Commons. The renovated space features foodie favorites Sal’s Pizza, The Huntington Ave Grille, and Fenway Greens alongside new additions: a dessert station, all-day breakfast, and a designated allergen/ gluten-free zone.
The renovations represent Phase II of an ongoing project that has included student interns and multiple co-ops. Designed by Beacon Architects and built by Elaine Construction, the dining improvements represent Wentworth’s commitment to providing a truly transformative student experience based on community feedback.
“We’ve created more of a student-centered space,” said Director of Purchasing and Auxiliary Services Thomas Kane. “The dining commons will have a wider
variety of seating options with more available phone charging, as well as ambient contemporary music and TVs playing local channels. We will also feature the Ben Garfink Lounge, an adjacent lounge space for commuters and non-diners to hang out and be a part of the Beatty experience.”
Perhaps the biggest change is to students’ dining plans: The university is moving from an à la carte to an All-You-Care-to-Eat model. Rather than charging students per item as they exit, students will simply swipe once to access the dining area and go back and forth between stations as much as they want. Platinum, Gold, and Silver plans will also include dining points that can be used in Colleges of the Fenway retail locations, while the Ruby and Emerald plans will consist of points only.
Both students and staff can look forward to further improvements in Phase III.
“I like being able to grab whatever I like instead of having to wait and pay separately. I think it’s a lot easier and more enjoyable.”
MATT ’25
“The new layout is a lot cleaner and a lot more open. It makes it feel so much bigger.”

RE-THINKING: The Student Experience
Wentworth continues to take steps to improve the student experience in every way, including for those who may become future students. The following are a few examples of our commitment to student success and retention.
Success Studio
The Center for Academic Excellence was enhanced to become the Success Studio this year with a new home in Beatty Hall. One central hub now offers tutoring and academic support, first-year and transfer student advising, and student accessibility services.
Additionally, the Who Can Help? portal launched at whocanhelp.wit.edu and in the MyWentworth app, providing one easy location to find resources—including those in the Success Studio—related to a variety of topics.
ImpactLab
ImpactLab is an innovative two-week residential summer experience for rising juniors and seniors in high school. The immersive learning program provides students a chance to explore their passions in science, engineering, and design through Wentworth faculty and student mentors. The most recent session—held this summer— hosted 80 students from 15 different states and one student from Japan.
At the end of the session, a high school participant named Neil C. offered, “I thought my classes were really cool! I enjoyed my interactions with my professor, and it furthered my interest in architecture.” And student
Jocelyn R. said, “My favorite part was the social aspect. It felt like everyone was friendly with each other and I appreciated that community.”
New Wellness Center
The Center for Wellness moved out of its basement location and into the highly visible second floor of Wentworth Hall, a space previously occupied by the President’s Office. The new location features a bright, welcoming area with modern furniture and dedicated areas for counseling services, which students can utilize without insurance. The Center also offers crisis intervention services and a 24/7 phone support line for students during off hours.
“I think the more we can do around prevention and providing resources for students, and the treatment they need early,” said Associate Dean of Health and Wellness Maura Mulligan, “[the more] it allows them to persist at Wentworth and graduate and be successful.”
LOOKING AHEAD
Price,Nicole
vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
INITIATIVE AIMS TO
Create Community among Women
The first women to enroll at Wentworth arrived 50 years ago this year: Doris Dennis, Jane Estella, Virginia Butcher, Deborah Banks, and Susan Hardt. “Know your history,” urged Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Nicole Price at this year’s Women @ Wentworth breakfast marking this milestone. “Because there are people who have built a foundation upon which you can launch.”
IT’S A SENSE OF HISTORY that’s driving the university to build on that foundation.
According to the United States Census Bureau, women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce but account for only 27% of workers in STEM occupations. “Our numbers reflect the national experience,” said Dr. Susan Duffy, associate provost for Transformational Learning and Partnerships at Wentworth. “We need to have the full human spectrum come together to innovate or we’re not going to survive.”
Women currently make up 23% of the overall student body, with variation across majors. As part of its commitment to inclusive excellence, the university has a goal of increasing this number by 50 percent over the next five years; however, the challenge lies not just in attracting women to Wentworth, but in ensuring they are able to thrive once they are here.
“I think it goes without saying that the construction industry is primarily male-dominated, so I am typically one of the few females,” said Catherine Roden ’22 at the 15th annual Women @ Wentworth breakfast this spring. “Having been around construction from a young age, I didn’t realize how stigmatized being a woman in the field still is.”
The Women @ Wentworth Undergraduate (UG) Leadership Program aims to remedy that. Launched this fall, the initiative will create a community where students can develop leadership skills, build networks, and cultivate courage for a lifetime of success.
Participating students will earn micro-credentials toward badges, with four badges (one per academic year) equaling a certificate in Women’s Leadership. While content and conversation may be focused on women, students of all identities are welcome to engage, live, and learn as a community committed to understanding each other’s personal and professional lived experiences.
To make entering the program less intimidating, activities in which students are already engaging, such as varsity sports or women-focused clubs, count toward badges. Among the planned new opportunities are all-women living and learning residential community and leadership workshops, as well as a series of welcome events.
“Every one of us has that place where we’re not quite comfortable to step across the threshold,” said Duffy. “These programs give [students] the courage to do that to leap from . . . their own leadership edge.” If you are interested in being a mentor or getting involved, visit wit.edu/admissions/undergraduate/women or scan the QR code.
Huntington Transformation
A PRIME LOCATION for students, MBTA riders, and area attractions visitors—including the abutting Museum of Fine Arts—the spot also provides extremely high visibility for Wentworth.
Huntington Development Group (HDG) is developing the project, which will primarily be used as a life sciences facility, with space for retail and restaurants. HDG is a joint venture of The Fallon Company, Owens Companies, and Waldwin Development Company.
“This is an endeavor that will have a tremendously positive impact on our students and the surrounding community, particularly Mission Hill and Fenway,” said President Mark A. Thompson.
The project will also feature publicly accessible open space for the neighborhood community and Wentworth students, faculty, and staff. The athletics field will relocate as a new complex built on Parker Street.
More than 100 Wentworth students are expected to be employed through co-ops during the planning and construction process, with expectations that the completed project will provide 1,900 construction and 1,500 full-time job opportunities. The development is also expected to attract innovative industries seeking direct access to students in a thriving part of the city.
“500 Huntington is one of the largest remaining undeveloped parcels in the Longwood Medical Area,” said Joe Fallon AET ’73, CE ’77, Hon. ’17, “and we’re thrilled to collaborate with Wentworth to transform this uniquely situated site into a vibrant area featuring a cuttingedge life sciences center that provides tremendous opportunities for students and enhances the university’s connection to the neighborhood.”
Breaking New Ground
Athletics at Wentworth has a history almost as long as the university itself. Beginning with baseball in 1914, the Wentworth athletic roster has since grown to include basketball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.
IN JUNE, the university wrote a new chapter in this history, breaking ground on a state-of-the-art athletic complex at 600 Parker Street. As part of the project, Sweeney Field will be re-located and re-imagined as a regulation-size turf field, allowing Wentworth to host NCAA competitions for the first time since applying for membership 1984. The new field will sit atop a parking garage with space for electric vehicle charging and team buildings, including an expanded sports medicine clinic.
This transformative project would not have been possible without the support of stakeholders in Mission Hill, whose input was crucial to realizing Wentworth’s mission of forming high-value partnerships in the
community. Among other community benefits, residents of the Mission Main and Alice Heyward Taylor Apartments will be able to use the new field, and Wentworth will host and provide equipment for youth athletic programs through the Tobin Community Center.
“This spectacular project is the next step in the development of the department and transforming our student-athlete experience,” said Director of Athletics Cheryl Aaron at the groundbreaking ceremony. “Our student body and local community will have the opportunity to run and kick and pass and throw and engage with each other in all types of healthy outdoor activities.”
Since it opened in August 1996, Sweeney Field has served as the home for Wentworth softball, soccer, and lacrosse. Named for longtime Wentworth benefactors Myles Elliott ’28 and Eugenia Louise Sweeney, the synthetic turf has played host to its share of wins and losses over the years, starting with the men’s soccer team’s 1996 Commonwealth Coast Conference championship.
Sweeney Field is a special place for senior Ceilidh Higgins. Higgins, a biomedical engineering major and starting third baseman for the Wentworth Women’s Softball team, didn’t just play there for four years—she hit her first home run on the FieldTurf.
“I will always have some of the best memories of playing on Sweeney Field,” said Higgins, who graduated in August. “The Wentworth Softball Easter egg hunt, 6 a.m. practices [it ] will always be in my heart, but I am so excited for [the] future Leopards who will have the chance to practice and compete at the new athletic facility.”
New Faces, New Roles
As Wentworth continues to evolve, it remains important to bring in fresh, diverse voices to top positions. In the last year, the university has welcomed new faces in leadership roles, while also elevating others within the Board of Trustees. Here are but a few of those people.
SOPHIA MAGGELAKIS / Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Maggelakis comes to Wentworth from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) where she had been the dean of the College of Science since 2010. Prior to that, she founded and served as head of RIT’s School of Mathematical Sciences after progressing through the faculty ranks. She has published book chapters, refereed journal articles, and presented numerous papers at national and international conferences in her research specialty of mathematical biology.
Maggelakis earned her Ph.D. and M.S. in Computational and Applied Mathematics and B.S. in Mathematics from Old Dominion University. She also completed the Harvard Institute for Management and Leadership in Education program.
“Wentworth is well-positioned for greatness and to address the needs of a fast-changing society and industry by staying true to its mission, building on its strengths, and continue to empower learners with the skills they need to be successful in the global marketplace,” Maggelakis said.
SUSAN DUFFY / Associate Provost for Transformational Learning and Partnerships
For 10 years, Duffy served as the executive director of the Babson College Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership and faculty director of the Babson Executive Education Inclusive Leadership Portfolio. She built a sustainable and extensive portfolio of educational assets that serve diverse learners “from 14 to forever,” including a nationally recognized women’s leadership scholar program for undergraduates that has produced an illustrious group of accomplished leaders and rising stars. She earned her B.S. from Penn State University, her M.S. from John Hopkins University, and her Ph.D. from The George Washington University School of Business.
SEDEF DOGANER / Dean of the College of Architecture and Design Doganer comes to Wentworth from the University of Texas at San Antonio (2008–2021), where she served as department chair and associate dean of Design, Inclusion and Engaged Scholarship. During her leadership at UTSA, Doganer partnered with faculty and staff to initiate new programs, dual degrees, and certificates in order to better prepare students as future professionals and practitioners in a rapidly changing workplace. She additionally initiated international collaborations, projects, and workshops with Mexico, Turkey, Colombia, Turkmenistan, and South Korea. Doganer received bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in architecture from Istanbul Technical University.
THADDEUS GULDBRANDSEN / Dean of the School of Sciences and Humanities Guldbrandsen brings to Wentworth two decades of higher education experience as faculty member, research center director, and administrator at the University of New Hampshire, the Plymouth State University, and King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST). He also served more than two dozen universities, colleges, and schools across the United States and Asia as a higher education consultant, and is strongly committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and environmental sustainability. Guldbrandsen earned his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude in anthropology from the University of New Hampshire and his doctoral degree in anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
New Board Members
In May and September, Wentworth elected the following people to the Board of Trustees:
MICHAEL CARRAGHER President and CEO of VHB ANTHONY BOND ’12 CEO and President of BOND Brothers, Inc.“I have admired Wentworth for many years. I am excited to join the board during this time of transformation, as President Thompson charts the next decade of progress with a deep commitment to inclusive excellence, a value that I am passionate about and eager to support.”
“I care deeply about the institution and am passionate about giving back and ensuring the current and future students of Wentworth are just as prepared as I was for their future.”
NOELLE BENAVIDES ’19 Senior Agile Project Manager at Foundation Medicine“Programs that Wentworth has developed in order to provide not only the workforce of the future but the leaders of the future is something that not many organizations can claim. I wanted to be a part of that impact.”
MICHAEL SANTORA ’05 CEO of Logic Inc.“Wentworth has the unique opportunity to take from our foundation of hands-on learning and establish a new format of technical education to mold the leaders of tomorrow. I look forward to creating the framework for this evolution with my fellow trustees.”
“Committed to expanding knowledge, unafraid of hard work, and with a healthy dose of determination and humbleness, Wentworth students are poised to take on the challenges we face today. Serving on the board was a natural step toward contributing to catapult Wentworth further into the future.”

The Value of Industry Partnership
Industry partners play a valuable role in the educational experience: Through in-kind gifts, they ensure that Wentworth students have access to the tools and technologies they will use on co-op and in their future careers.
Through capstone sponsorships, they provide students with a hands-on learning experience in a real work environment.
Through sponsoring events, they invest directly in our mission to produce graduates who are career-ready and civically engaged.
By serving on advisory boards, they ensure that Wentworth’s curricula readies students to respond to current workforce trends.
Through all this and more, industry partners ensure that high-value learning remains central to the Wentworth educational experience. Thank you to all of our industry partners for your continued support.

Introducing Industry Corps
This year, Wentworth took another step in implementing its strategic goals with the establishment of a new program, Industry Corps. Industry Corps—born of the work and philosophy used in the Center for Community and Learning Partnerships to launch initiatives such as Beacon Pathways and RAMP—leverages Wentworth’s strengths to create education-to-career pathways composed of stackable credentials that activate career opportunities for students. Though focused initially on the construction industry, Industry Corps plans to expand into other strategic industries such as information technology, clean energy, manufacturing, and the life sciences.
“Post-secondary success for Boston residents has been narrowly defined as degree completion from an institution of higher education,” said Erik Miller, Assistant Vice President of Community Engagement & Educational Access at Wentworth. “With this high-impact initiative, we’re giving all learners every possible tool for success.”

Remembering Dick Sheridan ’55
A longtime dedicated member of the Wentworth community, Richard “Dick” Sheridan passed away in October.
Sheridan was the past president and owner of Gateway Equipment Corporation, a company he founded in 1966 and operated until his retirement in 2012. Gateway Equipment Corporation operated primarily in the construction and mining machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers’ industry. Prior to starting his own company, Sheridan held several positions with Westinghouse Air Brake Company.
Mr. Sheridan served actively in leadership positions with government, nonprofit, and community organizations. He received his associate degree in Steam and Diesel Engineering from Wentworth in 1955 and pursued additional education and study at Merrimac College, Bradley University, and Boston College. Sheridan served on the Wentworth Board of Trustees between 1998 and 2013. He was elected as a Trustee Emeritus by the Board of Trustees in November 2014 and elected to the Wentworth Corporation in 1995.
The Wentworth community mourns the loss of Dick Sheridan. Look for more in the spring issue of WIT magazine.

Remembering George Chamillard ’58, Hon. ’97
The Wentworth community lost a longtime and dedicated friend in George Chamillard on August 24. He was a highly respected member of the Board of Trustees for 15 years and was elected as a Trustee Emeritus in 2015.
Following his tenure as a Trustee, Chamillard continued his engagement as both a University Advisor and Trustee Emeritus.
Chamillard served 35 years at Teradyne, Inc., in a variety of roles including vice president, president, CEO, as well as chair of the Board of Directors. He was a past chair of SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials) and the Massachusetts High Technology Council, and past vice chair of the Northeastern University Board of Trustees. He earned his associate degree in 1958 at Wentworth and his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Northeastern in 1966 and 1970, respectively. He was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Wentworth in 1997.
We salute Mr. Chamillard and the long-reaching legacy that he has had on Wentworth and its students. Look for more in the spring issue of WIT magazine.
