"Weighing the cost of higher education is extremely important. Investing in a future of financial mobility and a lifetime of improved outcomes is important, too. Today, I have the privilege of setting aside a predetermined and comfortable amount of my paycheck every month to pay off my loans. I'm grateful to love the job that gives me that paycheck - a job that I'm in because of the skills and connections I built at Whitworth."
- Hannah Sabio Howell '18, communications specialist, Washington State Senate
