A great day to be a future Ichabod! 💙

Today, we welcomed high school juniors and seniors to campus for Ichabod Day! Students got a firsthand look at life at Washburn, from exploring academic programs and campus resources to meeting professors, connecting with current Ichabods and getting to know their potential future classmates.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We loved sharing what makes Washburn special and hope to see you back on campus soon.

Today, more than 300 seventh-grade students came to Washburn for Women in Science Day, getting a hands-on look at science and the many possibilities a future in STEM can hold. 🔬

Students spent the day participating in labs, connecting over lunch and putting their knowledge to the test in a science quiz bowl.
