The Haverford experience includes the opportunity to work closely with—and benefit from—mentors including faculty and advisors such as Dean of Academic Affairs Phil Bean.
In addition to his advising duties, Phil Bean also oversees the fellowship application process. Haverford has been named a 'Top Producer of Fulbright Students and Scholars'. Photo: Patrick Montero.

Long before it was renamed and expanded, Magill Library got its start as Alumni Hall. Originally proposed by the Haverford College Alumni Association as a place to hold meetings, the building took on a dual purpose when the Board of Managers suggested that a portion of the hall be used to accommodate the College’s library, which was then bursting out of a second story room in Founders Hall.
Come back tomorrow to see Magill Library at Haverford “Now”.
