		It was founded as Friends World College by the New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1965, but became non-sectarian in the mid-1970s.
		The emphasis is on cultural studies, arts, language, development and sustainability issues, and international relations, but Friends World students study a wide variety of subjects under the instruction and guidance of their advisors.

	Friends
		Liberal Friends kept silent meetings; however, professional Quakers emerged in departments of philosophy in Quaker colleges, as paid staff in Quaker organizations, in FGC, in the AFSC in 1917, in the FCNL founded in 1943, in the Friends World Committee for Consultation1952?, and in the bureaucracies of Yearly Meetings.
		Friends in 1900 agreed with other respectable Americans that the family was the basic institution of society and its welfare was crucial to civilization.
		Friends discovered that they were sufficiently good at relief that later the French would allow them to do post-war relief and reconstruction in Verdun and Americans would finance and the US government would provide food for feeding German children.

	Street Corner Society - a blog » Blog Archive » Marla Ruzicka — Friends World 1999 grad
		When I graduated in 1983, it was Friends World College, and in 1999 when Marla graduated, it was Friends World Program (a part of Long Island University), but basically it was the same difference.
		Maybe she was drawn to join Friends World, recognizing in it an opportunity to be herself, “do her own thing,” but maybe her college experience did little or nothing to draw out the strengths and determination she showed later on.
		Or maybe Friends World brought out the ‘worst’ in her, making her foolhardy and single-minded about perceived injustices, when if she had gone to a normal college maybe she could be living a normal life right now, far from the front lines of our world war.
