Though Whitman Day 2020 will look different than planned, it can still offer an opportunity for community and celebration of our school’s 100-year milestone. We hope you will take time on April 23 to reflect on your unique experience and the role you played in Whitman’s first century. And, during this time when technology has enabled our continued connection, we ask that you please join us for a Whitman Day Virtual Town Hall with Dean Anderson.
