An Aerial View of Campus

The clock tower of Memorial Hall rises above the surrounding trees with snow-covered Blue Mountains in the background.

Whitman College is full of historic buildings, tree-lined streets, and spaces created to foster community and learning. This new video of our beautiful campus provides a new perspective through bird's-eye view drone footage. What a beautiful place to learn, work and make memories!
