Each year, Earlham's senior class — led by a volunteer committee of dedicated students — begins a philanthropic relationship with the College through the Senior Gift program.

Class of 2009 - Wind and Solar Renewable Energy Projects at Miller Farm: In addition to reducing Earlham’s carbon footprint, the Miller Farm Sustainable Energy Project will serve as an educational space for the Earlham and Richmond communities, exposing people of all ages to environmentally sustainable living.
