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 Silivan's story.

Silivan Munguarakarama is a sophomore from Lusaka, Zambia majoring in computer science. The Off-Campus Studies program is what initially attracted Silivan to Whitman. He is aware that he is already studying abroad while at Whitman but he’s interested in seeing more of the world while completing his degree. In addition to seeing the USA, Whitman allowed him to intern at an international organization revolutionizing education in three African countries. His internship gave him the confidence to reach out to the board member of an investment company that funds tech startups.

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.
