About Westhampton College

Mission

The mission of Westhampton College is to support the whole student, both as an individual and as a valued and engaged member of the communities we build together. We help prepare our students to lead informed, purposeful lives as they become the best versions of themselves.

As advisors in matters academic, co-curricular, and social, we seek to:

  • strengthen students in their intellectual and personal development;
  • center diversity, equity, and inclusion; and
  • inspire students to care about and advocate for themselves and those around them.

We believe that community is an action, that all of us have a vital part to play in fostering a thriving and inclusive community.
