Cantor Fitzgerald Art Gallery

The artists in Futureproof engage with the many malleable interpretations of futureproofing, drawing from both the legacy of military and corporate scenario planning and the use of semi-fictionalized artifacts or archives as "proof," or evidence, of alternate timelines or futures yet to come.

Futureproof runs through December 17, 2017 in the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery and is supported by the the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities.

Campus

The Campus

Our campus has 200 acres of award-winning architecture and landscaping; more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings; and a nationally recognized arboretum with 400 species of trees and shrubs, a 3.5-acre duck pond, gardens, and wooded areas.

The Haverford College Arboretum hosts a variety of events, such as their recent holiday craft workshop. Almost all of the decorating materials used came from plants found on campus. Photo: Sarah Jennings ’21.

Members of the Biochemistry Superlab course with their professors

Academics

Biochemistry Concentration

Haverford’s biochemistry program is located at the interface between the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. For our ambitious students and faculty who seek to understand biological processes from physical and chemical points of view, this is an especially exciting place to be.

The 2015 "Biochemistry Superlab" course was the subject of a recent PLOS Biology paper co-authored by all of the class' 16 students and its co-teachers, Professor Rob Fairman (center) and Assistant Professor Lou Charkoudian (third from right). Students from across the sciences take the class—with preference given to biochemistry concentrators—and professors from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry team-teach it, addressing interdisciplinary interests.
