Earlham is a selective national liberal arts college founded in 1847. Earlham's affiliation with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) informs our emphasis on seeking the truth wherever it leads, respect for persons, learning from and with one another, conflict management and peacemaking, diversity, global education and on international experience. According to a 2007 survey by the Institute for International Education, Earlham ranks second among the nation's baccalaureate colleges in the proportion of students who study abroad during their undergraduate years. • Earlham's 1,194 students are bright, eager and hardworking; they report significantly higher numbers of books read, papers written, interaction with professors, and other predictors of successful educational outcomes than are reported nationally. • Earlham graduates pursue advanced degrees at a high rate. Between 1975 and 2004, 10.2 percent of Earlham College graduates completed doctoral degrees. In fact, Earlham is 23rd among 1,469 U.S. institutions in the percentage of graduates who go on to earn Ph.D.s; 8th, in the life sciences. Many Earlham alumni are deeply and personally committed to social action and to trying to improve the world. (These findings are based on the Weighted Baccalaureate Origins Study for 1975-2004 provided by the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium. Rankings reflect relative size of institutions.) • Faculty at Earlham rate their working environment highly, citing the match between the College's mission and their own sense of personal and professional aims. Our governance structure emphasizes collaboration and consultation. The Faculty Meeting and all committees operate by consensus-seeking rather than by voting. Michael R. Jackson, associate professor of psychology at Earlham, invited colleagues from across the nation to join his department's faculty in Fall 2007 in signing the Resolution Regarding Participation by Psychologists in Interrogations in Military Detention Centers. • Earlham's faculty have created a rich liberal arts curriculum that values interdisciplinary study. The College's recently redesigned General Education Program prepares students for a life of critical knowledge and informed action. Faculty actively lead international study programs in which more than 72 percent of our students participate for at least a semester. • The Richmond/Wayne County community of 70,000 is small enough to need and value the contributions and expertise of Earlham faculty and students. They often provide advice and leadership aimed at improving the quality of life and are involved with groups concerned with educational, environmental, social service, cultural and governmental organizations in Wayne County. In addition, faculty engage Earlham students in community-related research and presentations. • At the same time, our community is large enough to provide a microcosm of urban challenges. The community enjoys a symphony orchestra, civic theater, art and historical museum, environmental education center, regional arboretum, and miles of improved hiking and nature trails in the geologically rich Ordovician limestone Whitewater River gorge. Five institutions of higher education are located in Richmond and Wayne County: Earlham College, Earlham School of Religion, Bethany Seminary, Indiana University East and Ivy Tech State College. • Richmond is near these airports: 45 minutes west of Dayton, Ohio; an hour east of Indianapolis; and 75 minutes northwest of Cincinnati. For more information about openings contact Gregory Mahler, academic dean and vice president for academic affairs, at gregm@earlham.edu. Earlham College continues to build a community that reflects the gender and racial diversity of the society at large, and, therefore, we are particularly interested in inviting and encouraging applications from African Americans, other ethnic minorities, and women. Earlham also is eager to solicit applications from members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Earlham is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
