Faculty Resources

A portion of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's grant to Haverford College supports a Faculty Development Program, which consists of a series of semester-long courses for faculty on an interdisciplinary topic. Faculty from a range of departments meet weekly to learn about current issues and developments in a specific field and to develop new courses and course modules in this area. The seminar also serves as an interdisciplinary forum for faculty interaction.

Computing Across the Sciences (CAtS) - Eleven Haverford faculty from the departments of Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics participated in this seminar in the spring of 2001. An interdisciplinary class for students resulted from this course.
Bioinformatics Course- Computer Applications in the Biosciences - Eight Haverford faculty, from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics completed this course in the fall of 2001. A new course in Computational Genomics will be introduced into the Haverford Biology curriculum this year.
