It's that time again: Eight senior men are ready to hit the Cordiner stage at 7 p.m. on Friday Nov. 9 for this year's Mr. Whitman pageant, to raise money and awareness for Whitman-alum-founded nonprofit Semilla Nueva.
Chance to travel to Guatemala for a summer reminds these Whittes of the incredible opportunities afforded to all students to advance their professional interests and passions.
Two Whitman alumni, Curt Bowen and Joseph Bornstein, graduated Whitman in 2008, and in three short years built from the ground up a successful non-profit organization based in Guatemala called Semilla Nueva.
This summer, Whitman Direct Action (WDA) sent five students to Willywood, Guatemala to assess problems and needs in the community in hopes of returning to the same community next summer.
