Act Now to Support International Students This Summer

This summer, many of Whitman’s international students are unable to return home due to ongoing travel restrictions and safety concerns. Without family nearby, they are relying on the Whitman community for stability and support.

Whitman is committed to ensuring these students have access to safe housing, meals and job opportunities—but we can’t do it alone. The need is immediate and your support is critical.

Alumni and families have been asking how they can help. Now is the time to act. Your gift today will directly support students facing uncertainty and provide them with the resources they need to thrive this summer.

Together, we can create a safe haven—right now—when it’s needed most.

Information on International Students

Nearly half of the 178 continuing international students will remain in Walla Walla this summer. We are raising funds that will directly support these members of our community.
