>>We received videos from alumni like Drew Shoals ’05, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger '97, and many others on why they are All In.

>>Alumni from the classes of 1941-2020 showed up in a big way to support the greatest needs of the College, making gifts to all 5 designations within the Whitman Fund and beyond! 

>>Social media was filled with Whitman love, including current students Sharon ’21 and Juan Pablo ’21 who shared Whitman College trivia answers live on Facebook.

Thank you again for being “All In” this year. For those of you who will be receiving masks, those will be shipped out starting the week of October 19.
