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.

Professional dancer Dana Nichols '14, an English Major and Africana Studies Concentrator, discovered the Philadelphia Dance Company— known as Philadanco—as a sophomore on her first trip to West Philadelphia. Now an apprentice in the first company and a principal dancer in the second, Nichols went straight from Haverford to Philadanco.

In the Collection: Alexander Hamilton Letters

Among the holdings in Special Collections' vast Charles Roberts Autograph Letters Collection are a number of letters written by Alexander Hamilton—who, though he's been dead for more than 200 years, has become just about the hottest Founding Father ever, thanks to the smash broadway musical Hamilton.
