Student Highlight

Coming to Whitman after completing two years at community college made me a bit nervous, wondering if I would find my place here. But it’s been easy to make friends through student clubs and get involved as a volunteer in Walla Walla. There are so many opportunities to be part of the campus community!

Student Highlight

I never thought it would be possible to attend Whitman but when I applied as I was finishing community college, I was shocked at how affordable the school would be. I’m grateful for all the support that made it possible to pursue my academic and athletic interests, and be the first in my family to earn a bachelor's degree.
