The food pantry is located in the Resource Room on the first floor and is accessed from the dining room. Note that there are two fridges at the GAC; only one of them is dedicated to the food pantry and is marked as such.

Whitties Helping Whitties is a series of professional meetups where Whitties live and work. At these events you can:

• Learn about professions you didn’t know existed.
• Connect with young alumni who can help you transition to a new city after graduation.
• Talk with a recruiter, alum or parent about internships or early careers in their organization.
• Meet other Whitties working in a city you want to explore for the summer.

Join other Whitties from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 21, at the Old Rainier Brewery. Space is limited, so register now to claim your spot! This is a free event open to Whitman students, staff, faculty, alumni and families. 

Maximizing Protection From Masks

As we prepare to move to a mask-optional campus environment, it’s important to note that if you choose to continue masking you will receive the maximum protection by ensuring that whatever mask you wear fits properly. Please familiarize yourself with any instructions specific to the masks you use, and remember that, no matter what mask you wear, there are a few key considerations:

• The mask should be worn covering your nose and mouth.
• The mask should have a nose clip/band that you can adjust to fit snugly around your nose and the tops of your cheeks.
• The edges of the mask should fit tightly to your face on all sides, even when you are talking.

Take care of your masks by inspecting them regularly for holes, loose or fraying elastic, stains or other signs of wear that may compromise their integrity.

 

Remember that Whitman will be giving new masks to faculty, staff and students at Cordiner Hall at the following times:

• From 8 a.m.-1 p.m., Monday, March 21 through Friday, March 25.
• From 8 a.m.-9 a.m. and noon-1 p.m., Monday, March 28 through Friday, April 1.
