School Groups
The Friends University Art Department has a track record in the Wichita area of producing professional contemporary artists as well as being the home of the Epsilon Rho chapter of the Kappa Pi International Honorary Art Fraternity.
Another renowned arts program at Friends University is the main choir, named the Singing Quakers. Led by Dr. Cecil Riney for over 45 years from 1959–2005, the choir came to national recognition and acclaim. Many great composers and artists have worked with the group, including Moses Hogan and John Rutter. They have traveled the globe to many locations including most of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Austria, and many others. The choir is now led by Dr. Mark Bartel.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or groups:
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.”
—Diana Crane (b. 1933)
