FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Meet Dr. Ken Brown, one of our Senior Lecturers who guides students through the big, transformative questions of worldview, history, and theology.

Ken brings an incredible depth of knowledge to our community, including a Doctor of Theology and a 4-year post-doc. But what truly drives him every day in the classroom isn't just the history on the page; it’s the spark that happens when those texts come alive for his students.

"I love seeing students encounter texts and ideas that make them think about the big questions of life in new ways."

While Ken is excellent at navigating deep intellectual waters, his track record with three-day wilderness hikes is a little more adventurous! On his first trip, he narrowly leaped over a falling rock on a cliffside while carrying a 60-pound pack. On his second, he accidentally walked right between a mother bear and her cub (pro tip: just kept walking!). Suffice it to say, he’s happily stuck to teaching and guiding students ever since! 🐻

"It was my time." ✨

When Tara Tucker decided to return to school to complete her degree, she admits it felt a little scary at first. But with her kids getting older, she knew she wanted to dive deep, learn the things she didn’t know, and bring fresh perspectives to her conversations at work.

Balancing homework, a job, and night classes was no small feat! But Tara found an unexpected joy in the journey: shoulder-to-shoulder studying with her own children. Going through school at the same time meant sharing assignments, comparing notes, and celebrating the unique bond of learning together.

Thanks to the flexibility of the program's format, Tara was able to balance it all and thrive, graduating with a 4.0 in Human Services! Now, she says she’s "addicted to learning" and walks away with a renewed confidence in her own voice.

To any adult thinking about finishing their degree, Tara has some simple, powerful words of encouragement: "Just do it! You’re living life anyway. Start with one class and you’ll see how easily it fits in. You deserve it! Make this your time." 🧡

Join us in celebrating Tara and her whole family in their incredible achievements! 🎉🎓

Last night, the Whitworth Online team had the incredible privilege of sponsoring a table at the Helping Women Fund event at the Convention Center!

We were so inspired by the featured speaker, Erin Brockovich. As a tireless advocate for justice, she shared a wonderful and hopeful message of personal empowerment, challenging every single person in the room to stand up and make a difference in our community.

Her words perfectly echo the heart of the Women Helping Women Fund, which does such vital work supporting local organizations that make a lasting, positive impact in the lives of women and children right here in Spokane. We are so proud to stand alongside them in this mission! ❤️

The smiles say it all! 🎓✨

This weekend, we watched our adult student graduates cross the stage, turning years of hard work, late-night study sessions, and grit into a well-deserved diploma.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Once a Pirate, always a Pirate. 🏴‍☠️

The countdown is on - only 2 days until Commencement and today, we are honoring a student who defines what it means to be resilient. 🎓

She reminds us that even when things get tough, a little hope goes a long way.

We love a good strategic plan, but let’s be honest: it’s a lot easier to focus on "goals for next academic year" when there’s a world-class charcuterie board on the table. 🧀✨

Our final individual award in the Office Superlative series goes to: Most Likely to Outshine the Agenda with an Appetizer.

Brooke is the reason our staff meetings are the most well-attended events on campus. She has an uncanny ability to take a simple "check-in" and elevate it with something delicious. We’re not saying we only show up for the snacks... but we’re definitely not not saying it either. 😜

Thank you, Brooke, for your incredible hospitality and for making sure our team is always well-fed and well-cared for! 🏆
