Family Leadership Council
The Whitman College Family Leadership Council (FLC) is an opportunity for parents and families of current and past Whitman students to engage with the college through various volunteer opportunities. Parents and families will assist campus offices in engaging other parents, families, and prospective students, and alumni, through events, fundraising, career development and admission outreach.
All members of the Whitman FLC will support the college by:
- Making an annual gift to The Whitman Fund or W Club Athletics
- Participating in one (or more) committee
- Attending FLC meetings on campus (in the fall during Family Weekend and in April) and/or Zoom meetings.
