Student Life
provides support services that recognize the diverse needs of
Whittier College undergraduate students. Student Life assists
students in their academic and personal development, and helps
students to develop and strengthen skills, attitudes and values
appropriate for leading and serving in a global society. Student
Life is guided by student development theory and professional
expertise in student affairs. Programs and services additionally
reflect the College’s Quaker heritage — expressed by friendliness,
strong cooperative relationships with faculty and students,
consultative decision-making, a concern for the individual,
respect for the community and a strong value on social
responsibility.
Advisement
Each new student is assigned to a faculty mentor who provides
academic support and direction through the freshman and sophomore
years. The administrative aspects of advising, such as changing
advisors, declaring or changing a major, or questions about
graduation requirements are coordinated by the Associate Dean for
Academic Advisement.
