Spring Break Begins Next Week
|
Our campus will be quieter during the next two weeks as many students will be away during their spring break. Residence halls will be closed; however, you may still see some students around campus as accommodations have been made for those students not traveling during break.
All academic buildings will be accessible only with a Whitman ID card swipe. Many campus functions will operate under reduced hours and schedules (see below).
In addition, for the next two weeks, Whitman Today will only be published on Mondays and Thursdays. Content submissions are due by noon on the previous business day.
