EnglishWhat is The Whitworthian?
Updated
The Whitworthian is the student news site of Whitworth University, published at thewhitworthian.news. It covers campus news, sports, arts and culture, and opinions, with articles written by student staff writers and editors. If you want to follow Whitworth University community news and events from a student perspective, this is the site to check.
What content does it publish?
The site organizes its coverage into clear sections, each with a distinct focus:
| Section | What it covers | Example from the site |
|---|---|---|
| News | Campus events, organizations, and student life | A Psi Chi National Honor Society clothing drive; a "Stations of the Cross" exhibit in the HUB |
| Sports | Whitworth athletics and conference competition | Lacrosse defeating Willamette University; the Pirates pursuing an NWC title |
| Arts & Culture | Artists, performances, and creative work on campus | Chapel artist Byeongchan Jeong; guest artist Thomas Jöstlein leading masterclasses |
| Opinions | Student commentary and surveys | A Whitworth overnight hosting experience survey |
Articles are typically bylined by student staff writers and carry publication dates, so you can tell how recent a story is.
Who writes it?
The Whitworthian is produced by Whitworth University students. Bylines on the site include staff writers and contributors such as Samantha Hannah Abeena Ellis, Eliana Jeffrey, Bilal Hasan, Max Broennle, Lilian McIlraith, Charis Anne Tiamson, Norah McLaughlin, and Finn Anderson. This means the reporting reflects a student perspective on campus life rather than an official university communications voice.
When is it useful?
- Prospective students and families who want an unfiltered look at campus culture, events, and student concerns.
- Current students looking for coverage of organizations, athletics, and arts programming they might join or attend.
- Alumni who want to keep up with what's happening at Whitworth.

How to use the site

Because the site is a news publication rather than a directory, it won't give you a complete list of campus resources or official policies. For those, you'd need Whitworth University's own pages. The Whitworthian is best treated as a student-reported window into campus life, useful for context, color, and current events.
