Eco-goats on campus

“Haverford” in Welsh, according to one translation, means “goat crossing.” Last week, we welcomed a herd of those furry, hoofed creatures to campus as a means of keeping invasive plant species under control.

These goats (from Eco-Goat) are a natural, sustainable alternative to herbicide and they are helping to keep our arboretum campus beautiful.

OAR

What I appreciate so much about the OAR is that they recognize that academic performance is so closely tied to a variety of other factors in a student’s life. When I meet with the staff, I’m not simply talking about my classes or my schedule, but we’re also discussing life and the factors of being a student that can impede my ability to be academically efficient in the way that I want to be.

2013 Study Abroad Photo Contest – Cultural Encounters

Studying abroad in Paris gave me the confidence to set out on my own and explore the world around me. The challenge of becoming fluent in a different language gave me the strength to face many new experiences while abroad. It was also an amazing supplement to my French minor and an experience I would recommend to anyone studying a language as part of their degree. ” – Nora Landis-Shack ’13
