Welcome Poet Parents & Families!

We are delighted that your student has chosen Whittier College to further his or her education and are equally delighted that you too, have joined the Whittier community. Whittier College offers many exciting opportunities for growth and development. We recognize that you are an essential part of the educational experience and value your partnership in promoting your student's success.

We also know how much easier it can be to be supportive and encourage your student if you have a good base of knowledge about Whittier College. The Poet Parents & Families webpages are designed to provide you with information you can use to support your student—from the sending of on-campus care packages, to attending one of our annual, family-friendly events, to learning about the various academic and career resources available to each and every Whittier student.

Should you have any questions or concerns during the year, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of my staff, and we'll be happy to assist you in whatever way we can.

Best,

Jeanne Ortiz
Dean of Students
