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
• Class visit (to be selected upon arrival to campus) 
• Student panel
• Lunch in the dining hall (student meals are on us)
• Your family and guests are welcome to join you for the entire program. While you visit a class, they are invited to attend a parent seminar.

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). If you plan to stay overnight on campus, Whitworth will provide you one meal pass. All other meals can be purchased at the door. 
• In addition to the planned program, high school juniors and seniors as well as college transfer students 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. Any additional 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.
