As prospective students flock to Whitman this spring for events like Admitted Students Day and Spring Visitors Day, many will be taking into account sports, class offerings, the residence halls or Whitman's location. Students in wheelchairs face not only these concerns, but also concerns about wheelchair accessibility.

When four Whitman students crashed last Friday, it sent a ripple through campus that has inspired the best the campus and community has to offer.

A larger number of students than usual received deficiency slips via campus mail. However, the Academic Resource Center hopes earlier notice and specific notes from professors will help.
