Since 2011 College Communications has produced a unique homepage each weekday to spotlight the rich diversity of Haverford's academic programming, extracurricular offerings, campus culture, and community members' accomplishments.
Haverford students are afforded a large amount of autonomy and may use this opportunity to craft the kinds of experiences they wish to have—and they are given the responsibility, the resources and the respect necessary for that to happen.
The Departments of astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology are housed in the state-of-the-art Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center (KINSC).
In 1972, Whitall Hall was torn down to improve the view of (and from) the newly built Dining Center. The spot is now a busy crossroads on campus, especially at meal times.

Whitall Hall, which once stood next to Gest, was built in 1896 and originally housed woodworking and machine shops, a drafting studio, and an “electric lighting engine.” A 1929 renovation replaced the shops with classrooms and professors’ offices.
Come back tomorrow to see Whitall Hall “Now.”
The Friend in Residence program brings gifted and experienced Quakers to campus for extended interactions with students, staff, faculty and the community to stimulate reflection on the connections between academic pursuits and “letting one’s life speak.”

An anonymous graduate has made a seven-figure gift for financial aid, sustainability, and diversity. The gift will support operational needs, new endowed scholarships and a presidential discretionary fund for strategic initiatives.
Haverford's $225 million Lives That Speak campaign was publicly launched in October 2014. To date, more than $208 million has been raised.
Haverford libraries own more than 625,000 titles, including not only printed books but thousands of items in other formats—microfilm, photographs, diaries, letters, sound and video recordings, electronic publications, and miscellaneous ephemera.

Established nearly 80 years ago by the Campus Club, the 2.2-mile Nature Trail encircling Haverford College’s campus provides a shady path for dog walkers, joggers and runners.
Short sections of Haverford's Nature Trail are being resurfaced for enhanced safety. The material is made from recycled truck tires, and looks similar to wood chips. Photo: Patrick Montero.
