Whitman College prides itself on an extremely active student body, and understandably so. With 30% of the student body involved in varsity athletics, and a large majority of the remaining population involved in everything from popular intermural sports to kayaking in the Harvey Pool, the Whitman campus is quite active. One resource that active students often get involved in is the pick-up sports community on campus. Though pick-up is not a formally organized outlet on campus, various pick-up groups regularly schedule games that anyone interested is welcome to join.
Efforts by students, staff and faculty to confront racism on campus have continued after the rally against racism and other recent events. Student organizers have come together to form the Coalition Against Racism Everywhere, and the Intercultural Center is bringing civil rights leader Diane Nash, one of the lead organizers of the Freedom Riders campaign, to campus for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
