The Hurford Humanities Center places at the heart of its mission an array of programs intended to strengthen the humanities and the arts at the College and offers opportunities both on campus and the greater community that allow for intellectual and scholarly engagement outside of the classroom, learning by experience in the arts, and leadership development. The Center supports scholarship with its underwriting of The Haverford Journal and programs such as its Student Seminars, Summer Humanities Student Research Assistantships, Research Stipends, Reading Groups, and grants for intensive Summer Classical Language Study. While Summer Humanities Internships, “Dialogues on Art” outings, and funding for student proposed arts events provide students practical experience in the worlds of humanities and the arts not possible in the classroom. The programs for students are, in some cases, modeled on faculty initiatives, while others are simply outstanding learning opportunities that are particularly appropriate for liberal arts college students.
