Our Place in Walla Walla
Our Place in Walla Walla is a periodic column published by Noah Leavitt, Co-Director for the Career and Community Engagement Center for External Affairs and College Liaison for Community Affairs. It was created as a tool to help Whitman students learn more about the Walla Walla Valley, many of whom are living in Walla Walla for the first time. Each piece examines a different element of the area, from annual events to landmarks to community leaders.
Our Place in Walla Walla is published bi-weekly during the academic year as a featured column in the Whitman Today newsletter and here on the website.
