“As a queer person of color, I would say that my study abroad experience not only enabled me to engage with and consider my identity within the freedom of another culture, but the time spent away from America also helped me to contextualize previous experiences and believe in a wider, more pronounced version of global citizenship.” – Matthew Ridley '19
Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.

Haverford Libraries’ Dime Novel Collection includes a complete set of the 100 volumes of Beadle’s Frontier Series, which were originally published from the 1860s to the 1880s and were purchased, in part, to honor Emeritus Professor of History Emma Lapsansky-Werner on her retirement.
"In the Collection" highlights some of the rare and marvelous items that are part of Magill Library's Special Collections.
Lapsansky-Werner has used the novels to teach her writing seminar “The American West in Fact and Fiction.” Librarian of the College Terry Snyder has also used them in her “Materiality and Spectacle” class, and Sarah Horowitz, curator of rare books and manuscripts and head of Quaker and Special Collections, uses them with classes looking at book history and technology, as an example of mass-produced, inexpensive books.

Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities, the Swarthmore College Film and Media Studies department, and the Bryn Mawr College Film Studies program, the 8th Annual Tri-Co Film Festival featured 18 short films and five multimedia presentations and was held at nearby Bryn Mawr Film Institute.
