"We feel fairly comfortable about the participation level," Associate Dean of Students Andre Coleman said. "This is the first year we've offered it in the spring." With other major events taking place in the fall, such as Homecoming, Luminarias and society dances, the administration felt Family Weekend would be a nice addition to the spring semester.

A total of 437 guests, 166 prospective students and their families, came on campus for the day's events. Sunday's highlight was the Activity Fair on the Upper Quad. Sharing the space and time with multiple bands performing at Sunday Jams, prospective students were able to visit with members from organizations on campus. Representative students sat at tables lined up on the pathways of the Quad, promoting their clubs and societies.

Whittier College President Sharon Herzberger started the night with a moment of silence in the "Quaker tradition of reflection." She then delivered a short address urging students to retain their humble ways while trying to compete with students from "USC, UCLA and the less humble schools." Soon after the President's brief speech, Dean of Faculty Susan Gotsch introduced this year's Nerhood Award winner by reading from student recommendation letters. This year's Nerhood Award went to Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Leisure Sciences Trish Van Oosbree. "She is an ex cellent role model, in every sense of the term," Gotsch said. Van Oosbree, seeming rattled, delivered a short speech saying: "This is my 15 seconds of fame, I don't want to extend it beyond that." "I never expected this in a million years," Van Oosbree continued. In one of the nomination letters, Van Oosbree was credited with "keeping the KLS department from the brink of eradication." Van Oosbree concluded her speech by affirming that "students here at Whittier College are getting the best education available in the country." Herzberger urged students to seek, in President Ike Eisenhower's words, their "private hope and dream." . In Herzberger's words, the Nerhood Award is "the highest honor a faculty member can receive at this college."
