RPI is the oldest engineering school in the Western Hemisphere, with 200 years of history. Its student life has evolved immensely in that time, and throughout its history it has been a provider for leading engineers and a flashpoint for political activism and student rights. It has the oldest continously-existing student government in the United States in the [[Rensselaer Union]], and its model for polytechnic education informed the American engineering schools that came after it.

In this way, the RPI Wiki can serve as a resource to students, faculty, alumni, and prospective students, and make our Institute's history last forever.
