Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
Tuttle Creative Residencies encourage faculty from across the three divisions—natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities—to design and implement arts residencies in conjunction with their curricular and scholarly agendas.
Through funding from the Tuttle Creative Residency Program, cartoonist and author Lynda Barry will be giving a talk at Haverford on Thursday, March 16.
"We look to understand how measure and musical effects are deployed and felt in poetry and prose. The class is an extension of the idea that a poem is a combination of its sound and sense. For us there is no separation. Considering music and prosody we search for how each poem, song, or text we read seeks to find its own measure or sound, poem-by-poem." — Visiting Assistant Professor of English Thomas Devaney
