A pioneering WPI faculty member, Helen Vassallo MBA '82 was also a clinical biologist, mother to 10 children, two-time author, American Businesswoman of the Year, helicopter pilot, patent holder, and recipient of the Key to the City of Worcester.

"My mom blazed many trails in her lifetime but never sought the limelight. Instead, her focus was always attuned to service,” said Steve Vassallo '93 of his mother.

It is in this spirit of generosity, impact, and service that Steve and his wife Trae established the Dr. Helen G. Vassallo Distinguished Presidential Professorship. It's a meaningful way to honor Helen's life and career—and to cement her legacy.

Why does Janelle Drake '11 volunteer with WPI?

"By staying active with WPI, I can give back to the place that helped to shape my experience and worldviews for four years. It's a way of paying it forward for the next generation of students," she says. "I give my time back to the university to help continue our strong tradition of community."

Join Janelle and dozens of other seasoned and aspiring volunteers for Honoring Our Helping Herd on April 29 on campus.

Hosted by the Alumni Association, this event is for you, whether you have a long history of volunteering with WPI or you're looking for a place to start.
