Beautiful Rosario: Enjoying the book of nature
|
More than 100 alumni gathered for another beautiful Rosario Alumni Sabbath the last full weekend in August. Guests enjoyed this year's speaker, Greg Dodds '97, professor and chair of the Department of History, who spoke on the books of scripture and nature, encouraging us to study both to form a balanced view of our Creator.
In addition to visiting with friendly faces (including Donald Blake, Roland Blaich and Doug Clark this year) we can always count on Rosario's stunning scenery, excellent speakers and delicious food. Make a note on your calendar now to join us at Rosario Aug. 28 to 30, 2020, when Joe Galusha '68, professor emeritus of biology, will be our guest speaker. Reservations for the weekend open in June 2020.

Comprehensive renovation planned for Sittner Hall
|
|
To help us ensure our campus housing options are comfortable and safe well into the future, last year Walla Walla University hired a comprehensive higher education consulting firm that specializes in master planning and facility management. Following a full review of all WWU campus housing, Sittner Hall (our largest men's residence hall), which has served WWU durably since 1946, was selected for the first phase of renovations. Learn more about what the Sittner Hall renovation will include and when it will be completed.
