Our Place in Walla Walla
Our Place in Walla Walla is a periodic column published by the Career and Community Engagement Center. It was created as a tool to help Whitman students learn more about the Walla Walla Valley, many of whom are living in Walla Walla for the first time. Each piece, also published in the Whitman Today newsletter, examines a different element of the area, from annual events to landmarks to community leaders.
