Dear Haverford Alumni,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the first
annual Haverford College Alumni of Color Weekend, November
5-7, 2004. We hope that you will be part of these historic
two days of recognition, discussion, entertainment, and fellowship.
The weekend will provide an opportunity to advance communication
among fellow alumni of color, students, faculty and friends,
through a variety of planned activities.
There have been many changes at the College.
While we now boast the new, state of the art, Marion E. Koshland
Integrated Natural Science Center, and the Douglas B. Gardner
Integrated Athletic Center on its way to completion by 2005-06
basketball season; the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA)
has also added a new addition. OMA Ambassadors, the newest
members to the Customs team, are helping to promote and sustain
dialogue amongst freshmen and the entire community on issues
of diversity within and beyond Haverford.
The College’s commitment to diversity
is part of its foundation. In the words of a Vietnamese proverb,
“When eating fruit, think of the person who planted
the tree.” The Haverford of today would not have been
possible without you. It’s time to reconnect with an
institution that recognizes you as a cherished member of its
past, present and future community.
The weekend is sponsored by:
The Office of External Relations The Office of Multicultural
Affairs
Alliance of Latin American Students (ALAS) Asian Students
Association (ASA)
Black Students League (BSL) Caribbean Essence Organization
(CEO)
Haverford Alliance for Diversity and Unity (HADU) International
Students Association (ISA)
Muslim Students Association (MSA) South Asian Society (SAS)
