Transferring to Whitman College can open up unexpected opportunities—as a recent group of transfer students to the Art program discovered when they found a unique way to introduce themselves to the Whitman community.
“The Transfer Collective”—an exhibition of artwork that appeared in the Fouts Center for Visual Arts Sept. 24 to Oct. 3—highlighted the diverse perspectives and experiences of seven Whitman transfer students. The exhibition showcased artwork the students made at prior colleges, between schools and during their time at Whitman.
“It’s a reflection of what it means to be a transfer student: getting into new spaces, being seen and contributing to Whitman,” says Lizzett Zaragoza ’27, an Art major who transferred from Walla Walla Community College (WWCC). “I’m really grateful for the support that I’ve had here from my peers and instructors. And for the chance to show my work in this way.”
“The Transfer Collective” show was the brainchild of Art major Carmen Nally ’26, who also transferred to Whitman from WWCC. Nally collaborated with Associate Professor of Art and Paul Garrett Fellow Maria Lux to create the exhibition. Ben Selby, Studio and Safety Technician in Fouts, also worked with the students to curate and install their work in the gallery space.
