Achieve Excellence on and off the Field
At Whitman College, we challenge students to be their very best, and for our scholar-athletes that means on the court, track, field or in the pool—and in the classroom. Our Sport Studies, Recreation and Athletics program instills leadership skills and builds self-discipline, confidence and a spirit of collaboration. Whether you're on varsity, club or intramural team, or just want to build your strength with a fitness class or at the gym, Whitman offers the support and facilities you need to thrive.
