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 parents 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
• Class visit(s) of your choice
• Student panel
• Lunch in the dining hall (student meals are on us)
• 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.

Schedule 

Registration will open in August 2018.

Please note:

• Meals in the HUB dining hall are served cafeteria-style, with a wide variety of menu options, for $8.50 per person. A la carte meal options are available in The Café in the Hixson Union Building and in the Mind & Hearth coffee house (where cash, credit and debit cards are accepted).
• In addition to the planned program, you may request a one-on-one appointment with a professor or a coach (based on his or her availability) and may stay overnight in a residence hall with a student host. These appointments will take place either before or after the Why Whitworth program, which runs from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• 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 the desk clerk know that you're visiting Whitworth.

We look forward to helping you discover your own answers to "Why Whitworth?"
