Whitman students can now officially call Nancy Serrurier Village home.
Nearly 200 students have moved into their apartment-style units in three residence halls—Robart, Stegner and Harvey—located off Boyer Avenue and Nancy Evans Way. The village was built to offer juniors and seniors an independent housing option in a community-focused environment to strengthen their bonds and support system while enriching their college experience.
In November, students, staff, faculty, alumni and donors came together over the course of a week to celebrate the project, explore the new halls, tour suites and see firsthand how the vision for the village has taken shape.
President Sarah Bolton shared her gratitude for the many people who helped bring this community to life—from the designers and architects who imagined an uplifting living environment, to the more than 160 donors and alumni whose generosity made the project possible. She emphasized that these buildings are not only a home for today’s students, but spaces that will support generations of Whitties to come.
The village is named for Upward Together Chair and Trustee Nancy Serrurier (Parent ’11), while individual halls honor distinguished alumni, including the Honorable James Robart ’69 (pictured with his wife, Mari Jalbing), the Honorable John Stegner ’77 and Laurie Elgee Stegner ’80, and Peter Harvey ’84. Additional spaces—including lounges, patios and tree groves—recognize the many more alumni and families who helped make this project a reality.
