Preparing for Honors Scholarship Weekend

We're thrilled that you have decided to attend a Whitworth Honors Scholarship Weekend. Over the course of the weekend, we hope you will have many chances to interact with Whitworth faculty, staff and students, and with your future classmates. We also hope to get to know you better through the activities below.

• Faculty Discussion Group: A Whitworth professor will lead you and a small group in a discussion of one article that will be provided to you in advance. The article will be emailed to you about one week prior to your Honors Scholarship Weekend. You will be expected to read the article on your own and come ready to participate in discussion. Prior preparation is strongly encouraged.
