Today is the Whitman Undergraduate Conference
|
Welcome to the 25th annual Whitman Undergraduate Conference, a celebration of the scholarship, critical thinking, self-driven exploration, and creativity of Whitman students!
Research conferences that span disciplines and occupy a full day are rare events, especially at small colleges. The Whitman Undergraduate Conference is a testament to the value of liberal arts learning and a showcase of original work sparked by course study, senior theses, faculty-student research, independent projects, fellowships, internships and study abroad.
