When you turn in to Whitworth's main entrance from Hawthorne Road, the HUB is located on your left as the road curves.

Please visit our Directions to Campus page.
Are there any costs I need to cover?
There are no costs for students attending MVP.
We know that the best possible way to learn whether Whitworth is a good college fit for you is to visit campus. We also know that travel isn't cheap and some families may need financial assistance to make a campus visit possible.
We are committed to reimbursing a significant amount of travel expenses for every admitted high school senior and transfer student who participates in a full-day or overnight visit event following their admission for fall 2024. Click here for more information.
Is this a formal event?
This is a casual campus visit meant to help you experience what college is like, so please feel free to dress comfortably. Spokane's weather in the spring can be unpredictable, so just be sure to pack accordingly (tip: layers and a coat).
What should I do if I have free time in my schedule?
Make yourself at home! Stroll down the Hello Walk and eavesdrop on a professor and student discussing Plato's metaphysics as they walk between classes. Visit the HUB where you can grab a treat from the Mind & Hearth Coffee House and hang out with students socializing around the fireplace.
