From the Director of Alumni Relations:

This is the last issue of Whittie News you will receive from our Alumni Officer, Richelle Little, '01 also known as littlerr@whitman.edu. Richelle leaves our office July 31 to travel to Europe then onto law school.

Richelle has been the creative force behind the content of Whittie News for the past 18 months and has done a great job. Her responsibility has been to make sure you stay connected to Whitman and find out everything the Alumni Office has going on in a given month -- both in Walla Walla and around the country. We will pass this responsibility now to Jason Arp, '94 who takes over as Alumni Officer.

Join us in saying goodbye to Richelle and wishing her well on her adventures in life (she can be reached at richelle_little@yahoo.com) and welcoming Jason.
