Mentorship Visit Program (MVP)

March 16-17, 2025

Whitworth University celebrates its students and families with diverse experiences and backgrounds. This program welcomes high school juniors, seniors, and college transfers to experience our campus community through peer mentors and discover Whitworth’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about the academic and student life programs offered at Whitworth. They will connect with our community through mentor groups led by student leaders and meet university faculty and staff who support students inside and outside the classroom. If you are seeking an education of mind and heart that lifts up academic excellence, the integration of faith and learning, and diversity and inclusion, we invite you to register.
