\u201cHow do we build up the queer community and promote queer joy? These questions are foundational to all of this work, and reflect what we\u2019re always striving for here at Earlham.\u201d \u2014 Earlham student \u201924<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all of our students identify as Quaker, but our Quaker roots inform our approach to education and community. For us, that means we lean into the activist spirit of working towards positive change for all<\/strong> people as we live out our Principles and Practices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being able to grow and be myself here at Earlham has been amazing. I started using they\/them pronouns halfway through freshman year. I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve been comfortable doing that in an academic or professional setting without the community support that I have here.\u201d<\/em>

Campus organizations<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Student organizations work closely with faculty in student life to organize events such as Trans Visibility Week, National Coming Out Day and more. These events hold space for resiliency and grieving, but they\u2019re also meant to cultivate presence, safety, joy and belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
