About This Cause

Founded in 1890, Whitworth University is a predominantly undergraduate institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and located in Spokane, Washington. Today, Whitworth still holds fast to the vision of founder George Whitworth, to "provide a diverse student body with an education of the mind and heart." While some Christian universities limit engagement with challenging ideas or secular scholarship, Whitworth's distinctive is that it encourages tough questions and fearless search for answers wherever they may be found. Whitworth consistently affirms Christian conviction and intellectual curiosity as complementary rather than competing values. These dual commitments set Whitworth University apart in the higher education landscape. A Whitworth education empowers students with broad knowledge and transferable skills, cultivates intellectual agility, and fosters ethical and social responsibility.
