Alumni of all ages are invited to reconnect with classmates and forge new connections with fellow Poets. Whether in private homes, coffee shops, or local restaurants, these events are more than just a reunion — they’re designed to strengthen the bonds that unite the Poet family.
“There’s something powerful about bringing Poets together in familiar and unexpected places,” said Director of Alumni Relations Ana Gutierrez ’96. “It’s not just about nostalgia — it’s about community, connection, and celebrating the lifelong impact of a Whittier education. We’re creating space for the stories, friendships, and energy that define the Poet4Life alumni experience.”
Mark your calendar, bring a friend, and attend an event near you. If you go, be sure to tag #Poet4Life!
