Photography and Videography on Campus
Whittier College allows visitors to take photographs on campus grounds. Photography, however, should not disrupt the academic environment and therefore is not allowed inside buildings or classrooms. Any member of the public or organization wishing to take photos for broadcast or public use must contact the Office of Marketing & Communications at 562.907.4277.
Commercial photography or filming is coordinated through the Office of Conference Services.
