Not only did I think about the financial aspect, but I wanted to attend a college that I knew valued me and my identities by investing in me and a campus that made efforts to create an equitable environment for students like me.

I found that to be true at Whitman when I was invited to attend a summer fly-in program the summer before my first year started. The program is free of charge to the participants and so I, of course, took the opportunity to visit campus and came with the hopes of becoming more educated about the college life.

Right when my plane landed in Walla Walla, I was greeted by the student leaders that seemed eager to get to know me and support me throughout my time in the program. In addition, all the participants were accommodated in Jewett Hall which was great because we all got to experience what it would be like to live in the dorms and what it would feel like sharing a space with a roommate we did not know. Throughout the program, we got to explore campus and got to know a majority of the offices and resources available like the Intercultural Center, Student Engagement Center, Financial Aid, etc.

While we were going to each of the offices, I noticed that even the people at the offices were passionate about making Whitman a more welcoming environment, and ensuring that we are knowledgeable of the resources at our disposal.
