Thanks to a generous gift from Trustee Fred Anderson ’66 and Marilyn Anderson, all Whittier College residence halls will be air-conditioned beginning this fall. 💜💛

The investment will bring high-efficiency AC upgrades to Ball, Johnson and Stauffer Halls — enhancing wellbeing and the first-year residential experience for future Poets.

This meaningful enhancement reflects Whittier’s continued commitment to creating supportive living and learning environments where students can thrive academically, socially and personally.

TRADITION. More than jerseys hanging in lockers. More than names on a roster. It's the players who built this program, the alumni who refused to let it disappear, and the generations of Poets who wore purple and gold before us. Whittier Lacrosse has always been about something bigger than the game. It's about brotherhood, pride, and carrying forward a legacy that spans decades. The tradition continues. #Tradition #WhittierLacrosse #PoetsLacrosse #WhittierCollege #PoetPride #Brotherhood #Legacy #Culture #PurpleAndGold #CollegeLacrosse #MCLA #WestCoastLacrosse #FearThePoet #BuiltByPoets #CarryTheLegacy

The Poet4Life Tour is hitting the road! 💜🚗 We’re excited to reconnect with you across the country this summer! Join fellow Poets for networking, community, and Whittier pride at an upcoming regional gathering.
