Ask an Earlhamite

Ask an Earlhamite is an easy way for Earlham College alums to engage with each other in a convenient, accessible way. Ask your own questions, answer others’ questions, offer professional advice, and exchange valuable wisdom and connections. 

This tool is available to alums at no charge, is easy to use, and does not require an app, registration, or login. The service is also available to students so they can benefit from the knowledge and experience of Earlham’s more than 21,000 living alumni. 

Alums will go to ask.earlham.edu and submit questions. Once a question is received, AI-powered software will connect the questions to alums who are well-suited to answer. If you are a good fit, the software will automatically email you the question. 

When you receive an email with a question, you can choose the most convenient way to respond — via email, a phone call, or a meeting — it’s up to you. 

Questions are only shared when there is a match, meaning it could take hours, weeks, or months before you receive a question to answer. Keep an eye out for messages from [email protected].
