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 learn why Whitworth could be a great school for you. Why Whitworth is a program for prospective students and their families that takes place on select dates during the fall and spring semesters. Your day will begin at 9:45 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. (or thereabouts) and will feature the following activities:
- Campus tour
- Admissions presentation
- Mock lecture by Whitworth professor
- Student panel
- Lunch (student meals are on us)
- A total of one guest is welcome to join you for the entire program. While students are in a mock lecture, guests are invited to attend a parent seminar.
IMPORTANT: Washington State Governor Jay Inslee issued a new travel advisory stating that persons arriving to Washington from other states or countries should practice self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival in the state of Washington. Because of this, we are only able to accommodate Washington state residents until further notice. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
