The departure and retirement of several long-time staff members, in addition to promotions and new hires, are adding up to a changing administration at Whitman College.
The Power and Privilege Symposium held on Thursday, Feb. 20 was one of the most well-attended events at Whitman in recent memory. The majority of the Whitman community spent the day engaging in dialogue about issues of power, privilege and identity, as the faculty cancelled classes to ensure that all students had time to attend. While the symposium was extremely successful, activists hope to continue the dialogue it began in the weeks and months ahead.
