Identity-Based Networks
Identity-based networks at Whitman aim to connect alumni with classmates based on their shared cultural, racial and personal identities to amplify the voices of their communities within the Whitman community. These networks serve as a space to celebrate and connect as well as encourage participation in Whitman events, networking opportunities, mentoring, volunteerism and philanthropy.
