In November 2012, the College hosted Ms. Holly Mosher, who gave a guest lecture in an economic development class, followed by a discussion of her movie Bonsai People at a public forum.

In April 2013, the College hosted officers of the Yunus Centre at an event involving Dr. Carl Strikwerda, president of Elizabethtown College. The Yunus Centre officers also led a social business workshop for Elizabethtown College students during their visit.
