Water, Water Everywhere

Water plays an important role in several Fall/Winter 2025 WPI Journal features. Jack Duffy-Protentis ’20, founder of a company making electric Jet Skis, and Caitlin Swalec ’16, who uses data to help decarbonize industries with some of the worst greenhouse gas emissions, cite formative childhood memories of playing in and around water to explain their choices of environmentally influenced careers. Clean water is also at the center of an ongoing project in Ecuador that members of WPI’s student chapter of Engineers Without Borders have been working on. In addition, read how WPI researchers are putting value on how students learn; what WPI advisers are doing to help international students; how Calvin Lambert ’27 is tackling a common locker-room problem; and why Constance Clark has shark teeth in her office.
