Student Life

Students come to Whitworth University not just to be taught, but to learn. They come for an education. And we recognize that a sound education is not limited to the classroom or to formal educational activities; there is another side to the curriculum. The student life program is the "other side" of this educational process. It is an opportunity to deal with questions like these: "Who am I, and what are my gifts?" "How do I develop durable, trustworthy relationships?" "How do I grow spiritually, and how can I find ways to express my faith in service to others?"

Through mentoring relationships and a wide variety of programs, the student life division supports students in navigating challenges and embracing the growth and change that naturally occur during their college years. The division includes a dedicated team of professionals – such as counselors, advisors, educators and student life staff – who provide resources for personal development, leadership growth, wellness and academic success.
