Getting Involved
Your involvement at Westmont is warmly welcome.
I'm interested in posting an internship
or job through Westmont's career center.
I live locally and would be willing
to greet new parents during August Orientation.
I'd like to make a gift
to the
Parent Fund
or other area to help students thrive at Westmont.
Consider using my home
for an Admissions event. Contact me when there is an event in my area.
There is another way that I would like to help Westmont
and would like to talk to someone about it.
