Learn the Latest About Westmont
Welcome Westmont parents, families and guardians,
With your prayers and support, we’ve charted a course only a handful of colleges in the United States have managed: students successfully living and learning on campus in this beautiful setting.
We recognize the challenges involved, and I thank you for encouraging your student to live with a great sense of responsibility for themselves and others. We continue to be diligent in promoting health and safety as a visible expression of love for one another.
Our society and world clearly need more Westmont graduates, who develop skill and discernment through the liberal arts as well as a biblically based wisdom and compassion that can help address the challenges we face. Given this great opportunity to continue growing together, let’s pray that God uses every aspect of our students’ undergraduate experience to train their hearts and minds to make an impact as they serve God.
I hope you find the resources here to be helpful as you support your student.
Sincerely yours,
Sarah Camp
Assistant Vice President for College Advancement,
Interim Senior Director of Alumni and Parent Relations
