Summer Humanities Internships

The Center’s Humanities internships offer rising Haverford Seniors apprenticeships at such host institutions as arts organizations, historical or scholarly societies, publishers, community groups with interests in humanities related activity. This program provides opportunities for students to consider how their interests relate to the world beyond Haverford and then to bring that experience to their final year at the College. The Center pays for 10 uninterrupted weeks of full time work (June-August).

Deadlines: The Center will announce the 2008 host organizations on February 11, 2008.  Student applications will be due February 22; after the hosts review applications and interview students, they will make their offers in mid-March. 

Dialogues on Art

A series of interdisciplinary dinner conversations that bring together students and faculty in order to discuss art. Participants visit exhibitions, performances, or screenings of contemporary art in and around Philadelphia and then discuss them over dinner.  For more information, contact James Weissinger, Post-Bac Fellow, jweissin@haverford.edu
