Staff
We seek to nurture and strengthen the Quaker character of the College by coordinating and supporting Quaker activities on campus, by nurturing and developing working relationships between Haverford and the wider Quaker world, and by providing administrative support for the Corporation of Haverford College.
Supporting the vibrant "living Quakerism" on this campus is an exciting task, and we hope the material on this site demonstrates the enthusiasm brought by the Haverford community to the current Quaker spirit of the College. We are looking forward to continuing this work of nurturing and supporting the Quaker character of Haverford, and we will keep you regularly updated on our progress throughout the year.
