Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore students take classes at all three schools and frequently collaborate on extracurricular activities.
A recent open classroom event, exploring “the everyday language of racism,” brought together Swarthmore and Haverford classes and showcased the strength of Linguistics, the first Tri-College department.
Assistant Professor of Linguistics Brook Lillehaugen (Haverford, standing center) and Assistant Professor of Linguistics Jamie Thomas (Swarthmore, standing left) hosted an open discussion with students, faculty, and staff in Founders Common Room.
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.
Fords enjoy myriad traditional events such as the Collection speaker series; pinwheel day; the annual weekend throwdown at the end of the year called Haverfest; and, most importantly, Fall and Spring Plenary.

“The original appeal was the dynamic nature of the sport. Once it starts, it keeps going. You have to figure out what’s happening on the fly.”—Adam Cann '06
