The Haverford Innovations Program (HIP) encourages and supports creative and strategic thinking around a problem, a need, a question, or simply an interest. The goal is to find new solutions and opportunities for entrepreneurial projects and paths of learning.

Sponsored by Haverford Innovations Program and Swarthmore’s Center for Innovation and Leadership, a daylong Impact Challenge led by Alexandra Wolkoff '14 from Puentes de Salud encouraged students to develop novel solutions to support Latinx immigrant communities in Philadelphia.

COOL CLASSES: “Global Change Biology”

Taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology Jamie Becker, this biology course for non-majors explores how human activities impact Earth’s climate and, in turn, all living things on the planet.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
