About this event

Nancy is walking into the next chapter of her life, her third act. And it is time to celebrate her incredible accomplishments and profound impact on generations of Whitman students, staff, faculty, and friends. 

Andrew Johnson ‘09, Leigh Ann Lucero ‘91, Emma O'Rourke-Powell '12, Jed Schwendiman ‘92 and Keith Farrington make up the current planning team. If you’re interested in helping with outreach, activity planning, or technology solutions for those who cannot attend, please contact Andrew at johnsoam@whitman.edu to join the team.

Hundreds of RAs, RDs, office staff, friends, and colleagues who have worked with and learned from Nancy over her tenure at Whitman are invited to this celebration! The hope is that this will be an opportunity for Residence Life folks to reconnect with each other as well.

You are invited to join us in person on campus to affirm, acknowledge, and applaud Nancy's amazing Residence Life adventures this September. You are also welcome to contribute to the online "kudoboard" (think e-affirmation sheet) with notes to Nancy and favorite Residence Life memories.

Kudoboard - post a message, add a video, share a photo.

It all starts at 2:30 PM going through 5:00 PM with remarks and sharing at 3:00 PM. We'll gather in the back yard of Penrose House.

More details will be shared in the coming weeks and there will be many opportunities to get involved. But first things first: please save the date & book travel to Walla Walla. Let's have a huge, blow-out celebration of Nancy!
