RSVP Registration

All members of Whitman’s faculty are invited to participate in the Installation Ceremony academic procession. For planning purposes, it is important to know how many faculty will join us in the academic procession. Please indicate your participation in the academic procession by April 20.

RSVP Registration

Academic apparel will be worn for the academic procession. Members of the procession are responsible for providing their own academic apparel.

Faculty who are not walking in the procession are welcome to sit in the audience “General Seating” area at this public event.

There is no RSVP needed for the other Installation Weekend events, but we hope you will join us.

We are excited to invite all of the campus community—faculty, staff and students—to a celebratory campus picnic on Stanton Field on Saturday, April 29 at noon. For planning purposes, it is helpful to understand how many people will be in attendance.

If you are faculty, staff or a student NOT on a meal plan, please RSVP to the picnic by April 20.
