New Student Orientation Spring 2025
We’re excited you are joining us and can’t wait to welcome you and your families to campus! We’ve planned various events for the first week of your Whitman experience.
During your orientation, we will introduce you to our campus and community’s academic and social culture. New Student Orientation focuses on advising and registering for classes, meeting and socializing with other incoming new students, getting acclimated to Walla Walla and having fun.
New Student Orientation Calendar
Parents and families are encouraged to join their students in some New Student Orientation activities on Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.
Building Access Information
Whitman College buildings are swipe-accessible, meaning you must use your ID card to open building doors during the weekend.
