Ms. Mays holds a B.A. in English from Earlham College and an M.A. in Folklore and Folklife from University of Pennsylvania, and has completed her M.A. in Religious Studies at Temple as a Graduate Fellow and Intern in the Dialogue Institute office. She brings strong teaching experience from being a Quaker educator and professional publishing expertise along with a longstanding passion and wisdom for interfaith encounter to her new role. Prior to coming to Temple in 2008, she served as the Director of a Master's program in English and Publishing at Rosemont College. She has established interfaith colleagues in teaching the Gospels and Quaker studies at Pendle Hill, a Quaker Study Center, in Media, PA.
