Emma Priya Graham

She comes from a small rural town called Wellsboro, Pennsylvannia in the northern part of the state. Growing up Quaker, she attended Wellsboro Monthly Meeting, the smallest Meeting in the Upper Susquehanna Quarter, which is part of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. Growing up she went to Camp Dark Waters in Medford, NJ for 6 years. She also went Shiloh Quaker Camp, part of Baltimore Yearly Meeting, continued on to Teen Adventure & Teen Adventure Leadership Training, and eventually became a counselor at Shiloh for 2 summers. It was there she discovered that Quakerism was something she wanted in her every day life. She attended the Quaker boarding school, Westtown for 3 years and graduated in 2006. From there she went to Guilford College, in Greensboro, NC for 2 years, while she was there, she participated in the Quaker Leader Scholars Program. She grew to love that community, and found much enjoyment in attending New Garden Friends Meeting. While she was at Guilford she studied Peace & Conflict studies, English, Photography, and Psychology. She transferred to Mansfield University in Mansfield, PA where she majored in Communications & Public Relations. She was very active in the International Club, College Democrats, and the Geography Club. Deciding to take some time off from school, the spirit led Emma here to the Woolman campus in August. She loves taking nature walks, writing poetry, reading up on political issues in the world today, and learning new things from the students.
