Welcome to Our Virtual Campus!

To help sustain, grow and improve community at Whitman from afar, the Associated Students of Whitman College, the Whitman Wire, the Whitman Events Board, and other independent student groups bring you a place to interact with, learn from and spend time with your peers: the Whitman Virtual Campus!

The goal of this website is to provide a space for all students to pursue the extra-curricular elements of a Whitman experience and continue to grow in ways beyond academics. From weekly online skill-sharing workshops, to the student-run Creativity Commons, to virtual events, and beyond, the Virtual Campus is created by students, for students.

Rest as Resistance

Rest as Resistance is a platform to build community through engaging in planning and executing workshops, talks, live events, interviews, or any other content surrounding anti-racism, activism, and wellness. This two-part movement focuses on student activism while maintaining self-care and mental health.

  • The "Rest" component explores ways to maintain wellness during quarantine, ideas for building supportive communities and relationships virtually, and tips to avoid activist burnout.
  • The "Resistance" component releases content focusing on social justice topics including anti-racism, cultural humility, intergroup dialogue and accessible healthcare.
