Join us for "A Look at Life in Admissions and Financial Aid" March 28

Have you wondered how Whitworth’s applications have increased by more than 600 percent over the past decade, how admission and financial aid decisions are made, or what is included on a campus tour? These questions and many others will be answered by Vice President for Admissions and Financial Aid Fred Pfursich at a brown-bag dialogue on Monday, March 28, from 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m., in Weyerhaeuser Hall, Room 111.

The March 28 event continues the new “A Look at Life in…” monthly brown-bag dialogue, during which members of cabinet provide an overview of their areas of responsibility and then invite questions and discussion. All staff and faculty members are invited to bring their lunches and join in the dialogue.

President Beck Taylor encourages Whitworth employees to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about areas of the university that may be unfamiliar to them. “As our community has grown, it has become harder to stay in touch with our colleagues across campus and what they are doing on a daily basis to advance our mission,” he says. “We need to work harder to be accessible and transparent, and we hope this monthly brown-bag dialogue can help in that process.”

Next month’s dialogue will feature “A Look at Life in Student Life,” with Kathy Storm, on Thursday, April 28, from 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. in the HUB, Rooms ABC.
