Jeffrey Perkins

Class of 1994 Chair

How did Earlham help prepare you for your current career?

“I use the skills and knowledge I gained at Earlham every day. Whether it’s the ability to think critically about the information in front of me, looking outside the box for new solutions to problems, or understanding how challenges are linked to larger structural inequity.”

Why do you volunteer for the college?

“Some of the most important relationships in my life were forged at Earlham. The Quaker beliefs that underpin the education I received still guide my life. I will always find ways to give back to a community that has meant so much to me in my development.”

Favorite Earlham memory?

“There are so many moments. Living in Peace House my final year was definitely a highlight.”
