Recruit at Whitman College
Section Navigation
At Whitman, the Career and Community Engagement Center (CCEC) connects students to experiences that will help cultivate their future.
We oversee on-campus recruitment, job/internship search assistance, fellowships and grants, and community engagement. We also serve as an educational resource for students, offering networking opportunities, and career services education. We are eager to build relationships with employers and connect you to Whitman students.
Whitties find meaningful work in different ways. On-campus employment options include Work Study, research, and opportunities through CCEC programs like the Whitman Student Consulting Corps. Off-campus employment include traditional internships, jobs, and volunteer opportunities that are posted to Handshake. Internship Programs that the CCEC coordinates that include off-campus involvement are the Whitman Internship Grant, a competitive grant that funds eligible unpaid opportunities, and the Community Fellow Program, a year-long community-facing fellowship created by organizations that are open to second, third, and fourth year Whitman students to apply for.
Whitman College’s Values
Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of Whitman College’s values. We are committed to creating spaces for students, faculty, staff, and visitors of all backgrounds and experiences. The CCEC, as part of Whitman College, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex (including pregnancy and parenting status), gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and applicable federal, state, or local laws.
Organizations that wish to recruit on our campus must also be committed to inclusion, diversity, anti-racism and nondiscrimination.
Recruitment Support
The CCEC is happy to support organizations as they reach out to Whitman students about opportunities. We can support you through facilitating on-campus recruitment events, answering inquiries about Whitman College, posting information about events on campus and through weekly emails, and connecting you with the campus through Handshake.
While we are eager to support organizations, we do not provide outreach services for job/internship postings. After posting a position to Handshake and receiving approval, we highly encourage you to reach out to academic departments and or student organizations at Whitman College who may be interested.
