Grow with Earlham
As one of the largest employers in Wayne County, Indiana, we pride ourselves on being not just a great place to work—but a wonderful community for our faculty, staff and students to live, play and grow together.
Founded in 1847, Earlham College is a nationally-ranked liberal arts college that aspires to change lives for good. Our community is shaped by the perspectives and values of the Religious Society of Friends—commonly known as Quakers—but you don’t have to be Quaker to work or study here. (In fact, most of us aren’t!) Instead, our community comes together around our shared Principles and Practices: respect for persons, integrity, peace and justice, simplicity, and community. Through our common understanding of these values and our shared governance structure, each member of the Earlham community is encouraged to participate fully, applying their personal expertise and experience to moving the College forward.
We’re delighted that you’re interested in joining the Earlham community and look forward to learning more about you through the application process.
Oh, and by the way—it’s pronounced “Ur-luhm”!
