What fuels you?
That’s a great question!
It’s a question you may not even realize you’re answering at Whitman. But
there will be that day. That day you say, “Whoa, this is so cool. This is me.”
You’ll feel excited. You’ll feel connected. You’ll feel unstoppable.
OK, maybe
not those exact
words, but
you’ll feel it.
The Women in Science Club is a very important
space at Whitman where we support and
encourage each other. Our meetings are always
a place of support, inclusion and inspiration.”

AN ALUMNI PERSPECTIVE
Whitman allowed me to explore my passions in different
fields and find the connections across them. The several
on-campus jobs and clubs I participated in allowed me to
meet lots of people and learn from different experiences.
Most importantly, I was encouraged to take on new challenges
and play big by faculty, staff and fellow classmates.
I did a semester at American University in Washington D.C.,
where I studied policy, business and networking. I also
took a Summer Crossroads in Rome, where I learned about
environmental studies and started my passion for water
rights, which was my thesis topic.
