About Dan Weiss
A leading advocate for the liberal arts and the residential liberal arts college, Dr. Weiss comes to Haverford from Lafayette College, where his presidency from 2005-13 was noted for a strategic plan that led to an increase in the size of its permanent faculty, revision of its Common Course of Study and the development of new interdisciplinary programs across the curriculum.
