The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship grew out of faculty and student interests that emerged in the late 1990s. Since then, the Center has developed and expanded into a flourishing nexus of social responsibility, civic engagement, and global peace work, both on campus and in the greater community.

The Center sent Maelys Gluck '19, Grace Brosnan '20, Amanda Acosta Owens '18, and Lev Greenstein '20 to Bogota, Colombia to attend the annual World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates as guests of the American Friends Service Committee.

Cool Classes - “Case Studies in Chemistry”

“Case Studies in Chemistry: The Science of Color and Light”

"In this course, we discuss the underlying physical processes that are involved in the production of light and the ways in which its interaction with matter leads to the colors we see in the objects that make up the world around us." — Visiting Assistant Professor Stephen Podowitz-Thomas

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