COOL CLASSES: “Public Policy Analysis”

Taught by Associate Professor of Political Science Zachary Oberfield, this course helps students develop a deeper understanding of how public policy is made while introducing students to policy analysis—the art and science of providing problem-solving advice.

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

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.
