On Nov. 9 at the Association Outdoor Recreation and Education (AORE) conference, Whitman’s Outdoor Program (the OP) won the David J. Webb Program Excellence Award. Whitman is the smallest college to ever receive this award, a testament to the accomplishments of the OP.

ASWC had its first senate meeting of the semester last Sunday, Oct 6. Agenda items included allocation of $2,000 for an outdoor trip, confirmation of a new vice president, and new appointees to the nominations and oversight committees.
