We Want to Hear From You!

We Want to Hear from You!

We would like to offer a platform for alumni to share experiences.  We invite your stories in any form and any length – an essay, a paragraph, a poem, a video.  We will post our stories in the blog section of our website; some may end up as articles in the Quaker Times. We assume: everyone has a story to tell; each person’s experience is unique; not all stories are positive or without challenge

What was your experience at Franklin around its diverse cultures? Did it really matter to you? If so, how? If not, why?

How has your education at Franklin informed you, your decisions, your choices since leaving high school?

One important way of finding the threads of commonality amid the myriad differences among us is to find ways to hear one another, to understand one another’s experience, in a shared community space.  That kind of listening and understanding is difficult to come by in our world.  And, any conversation about race can be fraught, involving vulnerability and risk.  To be possible, it needs a level of safety, which in turn requires some spaciousness around the conversation.  In the interest of supporting that safety, we will not post or reprint any commentary about other alumni posts.  Each person’s experience will stand complete, without commentary.
