Whitman Alumni Connections Newsletter October 2016

Dear Whitman Alumni: October Message from Cindie Adams

Last month, we hosted the 2nd annual Orange Tank, which came on the heels of a ranking released by College Factual that recognized Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises at Whitman as the #2 program in the US. There are a myriad of people and programs that contributed to this ranking—from renowned faculty performing leading-edge research to comprehensive programming for students and start-ups through on-campus and community-based partnerships. Beyond rankings, there is much to celebrate in the area of entrepreneurship at Whitman.
