Beyond These Towers: The Campaign for WPI

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For so many in the WPI community, Officer Robert Vandal was more than a campus police officer. He was a familiar face, a trusted friend and a constant source of kindness. ❤️

Whether he was checking in on students, welcoming guests to campus or volunteering at Relay for Life, Officer Vandal made people feel seen, valued and at home at WPI.

Now, our community has an opportunity to honor his legacy and the lasting impact he made on so many lives.
