The Whitman College Alumni Association provides alumni, parents, families, and friends of the College with a wide variety of trips and tours. Over the years, hundreds of members of the Whitman family have traveled together, whether for a short weekend watching top-notch theatre in Oregon or spending three weeks overseas.
Accommodations range from rustic hostels to luxurious inns.
A cultural, historical, and gastronomic feast awaits those participating in this unusual trip. Once again, Professor of history, emeritus, G. Thomas Edwards will accompany a group of Whitman friends on a cruise through the intracoastal waterway, from Jacksonville to the Chesapeake. Along the way, you will visit historical southern cities, take excursions to Civil War battlefields, see the abundant wildlife and birds in the coastal areas, all the while enjoying the amenities of the Nantucket Clipper, a small, shallow-draft vessel capable of entering waterways a larger boat cannot. The June session will be accompanied by Nancy Simon , professor of theatre and director of Harper Joy Theatre at Whitman College. Professor of English Ed Foster will lead the August group.
