Friend in Residence - Spring 2020

The Friend in Residence program brings gifted and experienced Quakers to campus for extended interactions with students, staff, faculty, and the community to stimulate reflection on the connections between academic pursuits and “letting one’s life speak.”

Friend in Residence Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, a Quaker South African politician and activist and acolyte of Steve Biko, will give public talks as part of her residency and is also co-teaching a class, “After the Sunset: Lessons in Transitions to Peace, the South African Example,” with Associate Professor Zolani Ngwane this semester.
