    by Andy Wallis -

    Dear Students, 

    We really want to hear from you about your courses this semester! Please take a few minutes to complete your course evaluations online by going to my.whittier.edu --> "For Student" --> "Academics" and then to the evaluations link. 

    Remember to study and get plenty of rest too as you prepare your finals and final projects.  

    Sincerely,

    Andy Wallis
