On the softball field, Julia Blake '19 has been a team captain since she was a junior, is a star player at second base, and has increased her batting average in each of her first three seasons at Haverford. On campus, the political science major worked her way up to being Students’ Council co-president in 2018.

How did Blake balance being the best leader she could be for both her teammates and student body constituents? Read "What It Takes" in the Winter 2019 issue of Haverford Magazine

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship grew out of faculty and student interests that emerged in the late 1990s. Since then, the Center has developed and expanded into a flourishing nexus of social responsibility, civic engagement, and global peace work, both on campus and in the greater community.

COOL CLASSES: "Advanced Topics: Observational Astronomy"

“Advanced Topics: Observational Astronomy”

Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy Karen Masters's observational astronomy course makes use of the telescopes we have on campus, including a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain, and includes a field trip to the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia to do some radio astronomy.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
