Welcome

Public Affairs Staff

Public Affairs communicates the Earlham story — detailing the many ways in which the College is fulfilling its mission — to external and internal audiences. Our work supports the goals and objectives of many parts of the College, chief among them student recruitment and fundraising. Public Affairs leads the way in establishing and implementing guidelines for quality in the writing and appearance of College messages.

Our staff of eight administrators, one administrative assistant and five or six student assistants interacts with all parts of the campus, providing a number of important services from pursuing national, regional and local media placements to ordering business cards and stationery. You'll find publications, photography, advertising and graphic design among the services we provide.

We invite you to browse our online Press Room where you'll find up-to-date College news and media placements, podcasts and feeds, historical features, alumni profiles and information about faculty experts and campus events. Among the more than 350 publications each year, our office creates ongoing issues of the Earlhamite alumni magazine and its online counterpart, Earlhamite Extras. In addition, Public Affairs oversees Around The Heart, the campus' daily online and weekly print newsletter.

Two Web content administrators are part of the Public Affairs staff. They assist in envisioning and creating content for the Web site, working with a wide range of College departments and offices. They manage the College's approach to electronic communication. Interacting with the Sports Information Director, we assist with athletics publications and photography. Finally, we support Earlham's program of events with promotional messages and publications each year.

Location

Joseph Moore House

The Public Affairs Office at Earlham College is located in historic Joseph Moore House at 430 College Avenue. Our mailing address is Campus Drawer 205, 801 National Road West, Richmond, Indiana 47374-4095.

In renovating the Joseph Moore House, the College strived both to stay true to the 1890s era of the house and to meet the 21st century communication needs of the Public Affairs Office. Constructed during a building boom in prosperous Richmond between 1892 and 1894, the Joseph Moore House was based on a simple, yet substantial design planned by then President Joseph Moore and architect Thomas Harrison. An example of modified Italianate design, the house features a delicate front porch, hipped roof, tall shuttered windows and a recessed entrance into a wide hallway where an original light fixture was refurbished. The house's many handsome features include functional pocket doors, transoms, marble fireplaces, a servants' stairwell at the rear of the house and a refurbished original wall unit in one of the offices.

You can reach us by phone at 765/983-1323.
