Family Weekend
Visit Your Whittie!
Whitman College’s Family Weekend: October 24–26, 2025
None of the Family Weekend events are required. The main objective is for families to spend time with their student. Families are encouraged to arrive when they can, and stay as long as they want. Some schedule highlights for this year include:
Friday: Some offices/galleries will hold open houses from 35 p.m. for families to visit, especially if their students are still in class. We'll kick off the fun with a student band (4–6 p.m.) and Chef Nimal's choice of pop-up dinner (5–6:30 p.m.) on the Reid patio, followed by a plethora of evening events.
Saturday: We will have much more programming available including an official welcome in the morning, a reception in the late afternoon, the ever-popular annual pumpkin carving event, and some home athletics events. Go Blues!
Sunday: We will have much less on the calendar, but it's the perfect opportunity to have a parting meal with your student and their friends before traveling home.
