In today’s world of “fake news,” “post-truths,” and “alternative facts,” Haverford’s Initiative in Ethical Engagement and Leadership (IEEL) may be more important than ever. So far IEEL has hosted a symposium on scientific ethics, created the Ethical Leadership Summer Institute (ELSI) led by visiting professor Neal Grabell ’77, and funded the “Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility” working group on campus.

Professor Kaye Edwards and the inaugural group of IEEL students (clockwise from top left) Freda Coren '17, George O'Hara '18, Smitha Pallaki BMC '17, Nathan Sokolic '19, Allison Hacker '17, and Amanda Grolig '19 gave presentations on the off-campus groups they volunteer with as part of their course requirements for the new Community Engagement and Social Responsibility seminar.

Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
