Why Whitworth Days

"Why Whitworth?" isn't just a rhetorical question. We really do want you to discover anything and everything that will help you decide why Whitworth might be a great school for you. Our Why Whitworth Days is a program for prospective students and their parents that takes place on select dates during the fall and spring semesters. Your day will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. (or thereabouts) and will feature the following activities:

• Campus tour
• Admissions presentation
• Class visit of your choice
• Student panel
• Lunch in the dining hall (complimentary for students, parents will be able to purchase a meal card for $7 per person)
• Your parents are welcome to join you for the entire program. While you visit a class, your parents are invited to attend a parent seminar.

We may also be able to accommodate other special requests before or after the program for guests who provide at least one week's advance notice.

• Unfortunately, we are unable to host parents overnight on campus. Please see the Local Accommodations list for recommended hotels close to campus. Most of the listed hotels offer a reduced rate – just let them know you're visiting Whitworth.

If you'd prefer a visit with more specialized activities, we recommend that you schedule an Individual Visit. (Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate individual visits on Why Whitworth Days.)
