(Length 13:58) Earlham College was founded by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1847. Since that time, the College has found much strength in its Quaker identity and its Quaker roots make it one of America's most distinct colleges. Still, Earlham practices diversity on a variety of levels -- including religious diversity. As Jewish students make up a percentage of its student body, the College has provided outreach to these students in any number of ways, including hiring a Campus Rabbi. We talk to the Quaker college's rabbi, Rachel Gartner about Judaism, religion and diversity on campus and let you know how and interested student can participate in campus activities. We also check in with Around The Heart editor Polly Wilde and get the scoop on some of the events coming up on campus.
