As we approach the beginning of a new academic year, we want to celebrate several new learning paths that are now available to students at Whitman College.
Two new majors:

Updated WhitLife App Now Available
|
Students: We've updated the WhitLife (Presence) app! It now does everything the Checkpoint and Digital ID apps used to do separately. If you are not already using it, download Modern Campus Presence from the app store for a streamlined experience. (The older Checkpoint and Digital ID apps will remain active for now, but may be discontinued in the future.) Event organizers can watch a short video to learn more about how to check people in using the updated app.

Opening Day tomorrow will add vehicle congestion to campus as students move into their residence halls. Please consider biking, walking or carpooling. If you do need your car on campus, please do not park along Stanton Street (behind Lyman), in the Jewett parking lot, in the Douglas parking lot or in the Music Building/Anderson/Stanton parking lot.
