Welcome, neighbor!
Part of the charm of Washington College is its location and the people who live here. Within walking distance of campus, downtown Chestertown is populated with friendly neighbors who make our students feel at home. We want you to feel equally at home on our campus. We welcome local residents to attend events, readings, and lecture on campus, to use Miller Library, and to cheer on our athletic teams.
The Johnson Fitness Center is open to members of The 1782 Society who pay a nominal fee in addition to their annual contribution, and the Casey Swim Center offers community memberships.
In addition to various “Friends” organizations (Friends of Miller Library, Friends of the Arts, for instance), the Washington College Academy of Lifelong Learning and the Women’s League of Washington College always welcome new members. We are grateful to all of our friends and neighbors who choose to give to Washington College.
Community Service
Washington College has a robust community service component. Last year alone, students logged 11,525 community service hours and raised $87,840.42 for various philanthropic causes. Our students are mentoring school children, spearheading local drives for books, food, and clothing, building garden boxes for Food Pantry clients, and raising money for cancer research. In two years, the College’s Relay for Life efforts have raised more than $100,000. If your organization is interested in recruiting student volunteers, please contact Neighbors for Good.
