Washington College

Student Handbook

2024-2025

Welcome

Welcome to Washington College! Whether you are new to our campus or a returning student, we hope this handbook will help you navigate the ins and outs of campus life and support your growth during your time here. Your time as a student will be one of great personal development and change, and we are here to make sure that you can access the many opportunities. Your college experience is what you make of it, and this handbook outlines countless organizations, programs, and activities that you can become involved in. We urge you to seek these out and dive into campus life in ways that support your academic pursuits!

Whether you want to write for the campus newspaper, join the SGA, a fraternity or sorority, a service or cultural student club, or even start your own organization, you are in the right place! For a small and intimate campus, Washington College has more opportunities than you can imagine. And your faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow students are all here to make it happen.

Also, don’t forget that we are located in picturesque Chestertown on the beautiful Chester River, with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, a farmer’s market, and a lively arts scene. Your college experience is made even better when you expand your circle of activity and take walks downtown to sit by the river, wander the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning, and explore the many activities at our waterfront campus.

We look forward to seeing you around campus. Please don’t hesitate to stop by our office if we can help you in any way!

Best,

Sarah Feyerherm, Vice President for Student Affairs
