WokePW 2025
Welcome to EAsT camPUS CPW 2025!!!!
See our event schedule/info below & add yourself to our mailing list to hear from us!
WokePW, also referred to as CPW (Campus Preview Weekend), is a great opportunity to come see what East campus is like. It's a weekend filled with events hosted by departments, clubs, & living groups at MIT. Prefrosh are hosted with current students to get a feel for residing at MIT.
At EC(East Campus), we have plenty of events going on at all times. Stop by if you want to grab a (meat optional) World Famous rush burger, dye your hair, pick locks, get served by Catboys & Goth Girls, eat some liquid nitrogen ice cream, and who knows what else. We always host the the MOST events of any dorm year after year, and for REX as well, when we build literal forts and rollercoasters(and more). But you have to comMIT to see that!
Things are a little weird for the last time this year in terms of location, since our dorm is still wrapping up renovations. Instead, we can be found everywhere from some random field to N52. But, next semester, WE WILL BE BACK!
If you don't know where to go: try coming to the EC Stud Space(W20-006). This is a great place to start if you aren't sure where to go, since it's a main hub of activity. If you need any help finding something, please ask! Also use this to generally help you find your way around.
Here's our schedule of WokePW events. Look out for some events that are only found on the official EC schedule!
