2002-2003 Events

WECE REC Room Grand Opening Event

March 13, 2003, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Atwater Kent 108

Photos of REC Opening

This event was our biggest ever. With standing-room only attendance, students, alumna, faculty friends and corporate sponsors enjoyed mingling over snacks before our presentation.

Barbara Broad, mother of the late Professor Denise Nicoletti, shared her daughter's vision for women in engineering. Even those who did not know Professor Nicoletti were deeply touched by Ms. Broad's inspiring words. We were honored to have Richard Nicoletti in attendance as well.

WECE's corporate sponsors Intel and GE said a few words about why they support our programs. Intel representatives Robert Richardson and Marissa Beres (WPI Alumna) spoke about WECE's importance to the community. GE representative Jennifer Wyse announced that GE would renew their financial support for another year.

About WECE, Professor Nicoletti, and the REC Room

WECE and the REC Room are the legacy of the late Professor Denise Nicoletti. Joining WPI in 1991, Professor Nicoletti had a huge impact on the women of the electrical and computer engineering department, and the Institute as a whole. WECE, the REC Room and Camp Reach are just a few of her many contributions to our community.

A welcoming and comfortable space open to everyone, the REC Room is exclusively sponsored by WECE. This room is prominently situated on the first floor of Atwater Kent (the electrical and computer engineering building), giving WECE a strong presence in the department. Students use the REC room for study, socializing, and creative endeavors. WECE uses the REC room to hold events and meetings, and as a venue in which to publicize ourselves.
