RICHMOND, Ind.—
Earlham College has named John David Dawson, a professor of religion at Pennsylvania's Haverford College, as the new president of the Quaker-affiliated liberal arts college. The Richmond school's board of trustees announced Dawson's hiring Wednesday. He begins his tenure July 1 and will succeed Douglas C. Bennett, who's retiring after 14 years as president.
Earlham board chairwoman Deborah Hull says Dawson "brings with him a wealth of scholarship and a deep commitment to social justice issues."
In addition to overseeing operations at the 1,100-student eastern Indiana college and its School of Religion, Dawson has also been named a full professor of religion at Earlham.
