Whitman College students tell their stories—about their unique experiences in choosing Whitman and being part of the Whitman community and what they love most. This is Dana’s story.

Dana Walden is from Hixson, Tennessee, studying Rhetoric, Writing, and Public Discourse. Dana had no intention of studying at a college in Tennessee so they begged their parents to get the book "381 Best Colleges in America." Whitman stuck out the most because of the rigorous academic system, kind professors, and the compassionate student population.

The “Our Whitman, My Story” podcast is a collaboration between the Whitman College Office of Communication and author and podcaster John Moe ’90. To meet more of our talented students follow Whitman on social media.
