A brief description of the institution’s programs to prepare students from low-income backgrounds for higher education:
College for a Day (CFD) is a program run through the Admissions office that welcomes 8th graders from Wayne county public and private schools to visit the campus. The mission of CFD is to incite enthusiasm in youth about attending college and help them understand what is expected for admission to college. One teacher spoke of the program in this way, “Many participants in the program have never thought college could be in their future, but this experience helps them realize what college could offer them.” -Joe Lopez (campus coordinator)By prompting this excitement and demonstrating that with hard work college can be a reality, it is the program’s primary goal that more youth will further their education after high school.
College for a Day was established by the Wayne County Foundation and includes three local higher education institutions, a technical school, commuter college, and a traditional four year liberal arts school. CFD reaches hundreds of youth, Earlham hosts four to five programs a year, with approximately 80-100 students participating in each one.
Students learn a great deal during their time on campus. They are both engaged in experiential learning at the Joseph Moore Museum of Natural History and in learning about student life in the residence halls and Athletics & Wellness Center.
