As a core institutional principle, sustainability animates ​Haverford's broad mission of stewarding ​its​ financial, ethical, and curricular endowments in the interest of educating principled global citizens while safeguarding intergenerational equity as a perpetual institution.

Philosophy at Haverford

Philosophy majors and minors at Haverford are part of an active community of faculty and students committed to exploring the ideas on which we base our understanding of reason, value, and our very existence.

Named after one alumnus and two current students—(from left) Bradford Gladstone ’18, Andrew Lee ’20, and Aarushi Mohan ’20—the Department of Philosophy's new Gladstone Lee Mohan collection features works by authors from backgrounds currently underrepresented in the profession, affirming Haverford’s commitment to diversity.

CLUB LIFE: Iconic Step Team

Iconic

Iconic is Haverford’s Step team, founded in 2018 and led by Raveen Green ’22 and Davion Williams ’22. Stepping uses the body as an instrument, and incorporates stomping, clapping, and spoken word to create a beat.

Club Life at Haverford is a blog series exploring student-run extracurricular activities.
