Intern Studies Unexplored Regional Species
|
Caine Ryan ’26 is a Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology (BBMB) major from Wilsonville, Oregon, who is taking his learning beyond the classroom. Thanks to a Whitman Internship Grant, Ryan is a Fish Culture Technician at the CTUIR (Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation) Mussel and Lamprey Lab, part of the Water & Environmental Center.
From spawning rare lamprey to studying Pacific freshwater mussels, Ryan’s work blends science with cultural significance, offering real-world experience that can’t be taught from a textbook.
Watch this video interview to learn more about Ryan’s internship experience.

Student Campus Climate Survey Closes Tomorrow
|
This year, Whitman will participate in the student survey from the National Assessment of Collegiate Campus Climates. Degree-seeking students will receive an email survey invitation from Dr. John Johnson, Vice President for Inclusive Excellence arriving via helpdesk@naccc.org. Participants will be entered to win one of several prizes, including a new PlayStation 5. In addition, if at least 50% of all Whitman students participate in the survey before it closes on Tuesday, May 6, the Division of Inclusive Excellence, will sponsor a day of complimentary boba teas at Black Pearl Boba. Survey feedback will help Whitman assess the racial climate on campus for students.
