Haverford College is a community of more than 1100 residents, located on 205 acres in a residential suburb of Philadelphia, with a combined population of more than 50,000 residents. As part of that larger community, the College shares many of the same interests and problems, including concern about crime.
Haverford has experienced minimal problems to date with crime on campus. Life on any college campus, however, is subject to some of the same risks and problems as life elsewhere.
Many parents are concerned about the safety of their daughter or son on a college campus away from home. Haverford College understands that concern and accepts its responsibility to employ security measures to ensure that our students enjoy their years at Haverford as free as possible from any threats to their safety or well-being. Haverford College is dedicated to keeping the campus a secure and healthy place to live, work, and study.
Our OfficeSafety & Security is located on the ground floor of the Gardner Integrated Athletic Center (GIAC), adjacent to the Campus Center. To find the office from College Ave., enter the college, go straight past the stadium (on right), to where the road curves left. You will see a large visitor parking area. The GIAC is the large building next to this parking lot. To find us from the Lancaster Ave. entrance, follow College Lane past the Campus Center (on right). We are located behind the Campus Center, just north of the visitor parking lot. |
Emergency ProcedureWhile the College has not received or been alerted to any specific threats to the campus, we want to assure the community that we remain vigilant in maintaining the highest security measures possible at this time of higher national alert. Students, faculty and staff should go about their normal business but should report any suspicious activity. |
