Besides the four main annual conferences ESR offers, there are other special events held periodically.

Several times a year ESR invites a noted Quaker to be on campus for a week. This Friend in Residence program gives the ESR community a chance to meet and talk with a Friend about her/his life and ministry.

In addition to these events, there have been other special events in which ESR has been involved. ESR hosted a Quaker Values & Business Ethics conference in 2002. In the Spring of 2004, ESR co-sponsored a trip to Sweden.

ESR also continues to have special relationship with the annual Quakers in Pastoral Care & Counseling conference.
