Sharing A Hobby, Faith, or Mission With Your Roommates

The 11 upperclass students who live in Music and Arts House came together last spring to create a space for artists to collaborate and share their work with the greater Haverford community.

The other community houses are the long-running eHaus, a cooperative focused on environmental sustainability; Nerd House, which has brought strategy board game nights, Miyazaki movie screenings, and a Haverfest Renaissance Faire; and Quaker House and Christian House, which are both faith-themed intentional communities.

From Doctor to Artist: David Fraser '65

The former president of Swarthmore College and renowned epidemiologist known for leading teams that unraveled Legionnaires’ disease and toxic shock syndrome, Haverford biology major David Fraser '65 has approached his late-in-life art career with the same zeal and curiosity he employed as a scientist and physician.
