Several MassDEP team members joined students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for a Career Roundtable. MassDEP staff — including two WPI alumni — shared insights about their current roles, career journeys, and the paths that led them to public service and environmental protection.

Students had the opportunity to ask questions, discuss their own majors and interests, and engage in meaningful conversations about future career opportunities. The event created a great space for informal connection and learning, and we appreciated the chance to connect with such engaged and thoughtful students.

Thank you to WPI for hosting another successful Career Roundtable!

They spoke with seventh-grade students about careers at MassDEP and showcased the equipment and materials used during emergency response operations.

Last month, MassDEP joined colleagues from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and the Attorney General’s Office for a powerful ceremony celebrating the state's recognition of the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe.

Held in Plymouth’s historic 1820 courtroom at Town Hall, the gathering marked an important moment for Indigenous sovereignty and the continued presence of Tribal Nations in Massachusetts.
