BOSTON, Mass. – NCAA Division III Week is set for the week of April 6-12 and Wentworth Institute of Technology student-athletes will be participating in numerous activities as a part of this event.

Division III is the NCAA’s largest and most diverse division, with more than 450 members, 43 conferences and more than 187,000 student-athletes.

The event is a celebration by member institutions and conferences of the division’s unique philosophy that equally values academics, athletics and student-athletes’ involvement in a full and rich campus life.

Division III schools strive to provide student-athletes the opportunity to discover their potential and develop their passions through full participation in campus life, and ultimately to dedicate themselves to success as citizens and leaders in society.

Please show your support of Wentworth’s student-athletes throughout the week. The following is a list of events planned for the week:
