Presidential Search Listening Sessions

The presidential search committee invites you to participate in the search process. Our consultants from Storbeck Search, Shelly Storbeck and Jim Sirianni, will be facilitating listening sessions with our college stakeholder groups and collecting the survey data to understand our community’s insights, suggestions, and aspirations for Whitman College’s 15th president. Your input will inform the prospectus we develop to formally advertise the position later this summer.
