Situated in East Los Angeles County, Whittier College is surrounded by the richness and diversity of Latinx music, art, and culture. With the goal of becoming a hub of this energy and activity, Professors of Music Danilo Lozano and Teresa LeVelle are leading the charge to launch the Center for Latinx and Latin American Arts and Culture (CLLAAC) at the College. 

Assistant Professor of Chemistry Peter Peterson has been awarded funding by NASA for the installation of Pandora and AERONET sites at Whittier College. The award will fund the installation of two new spectrometers on campus and provides wage and conference travel support for two students per year over a five-year period. 

Higher education is ripe for disruption—and President Linda Oubré, a proven business and startup leader, knows that Whittier College is at the forefront of monumental change in how, where, and to whom learning is delivered. 

Whittier College welcomes the addition of six new members to the College’s Board of Trustees: Christina Queiros Bouchot, Michael Brown '79, Erin Clancy '07, Shveta Mujumdar, Francisco Rodriguez, and Mei-Ian Stark '89.
