I. Student Experience
Students are at the center of the Haverford experience. Faculty become mentors while staff support students by fostering an educational and living environment that promotes growth and, with that, the fulfillment of every student's potential. The past year has exposed a number of shortcomings in College systems and programming that leave many students inadequately served and/or unable to thrive in this institutional setting and campus climate.
