Anna Johnston
Hello! My name is Anna Johnston and I am from Ogden, UT. I am a junior English major at Whitman College with a passion for animal facts and colored pens. Here at Whitman, I am editor-in-chief of quarterlife (our littlest literary magazine), a dancer, a trip leader for the Outdoor Program, and a yoga club leader; however, you will most frequently see me around campus trying to befriend ducklings. As part of the Academic Resource Center team, I can help you with organization, study habits, class enthusiasm, the writing process, and how to manage your class workloads alongside other activities. I am so excited to talk to you soon!
Maggie Weeks
Hello! My name is Maggie Weeks and I am a Junior Anthropology major at Whitman. I’m from Minot, North Dakota, and my favorite academic thing to do is read and write. I enjoy playing guitar, being with friends and family, listening to podcasts, and doing yoga and rock climbing. I am also planning on going to Law school after I graduate from Whitman! Some of my academic strengths are prioritizing and managing my time, and writing essays is my jam.
