The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program seeks to diversify the faculty in higher education. It prepares fellows to enter Ph.D. programs by underwriting time for research and writing, connecting students with faculty mentors, and creating opportunities such as annual conferences. Fellows build support networks across schools, gain experience presenting their own research, and learn from the projects and perspectives of others.  

Haverford has more than 125 student groups that publish magazines, host symposia, sing a cappella, discuss religion and spirituality, stay politically active, maintain a system of student self-government, dance, demonstrate and create.

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.

Magill Library

Magill Library will be transformed by a renovation and revitalization that is scheduled to begin in January, 2018. The building will be renamed Lutnick Library in recognition of a $25 million lead gift from Howard Lutnick '83. Planned changes include enhanced technology, open and flexible spaces, increased accessibility for special collections, and a café. Heritage spaces, including the Magill Wing and its historic façade on Founders Green, will be preserved.

Magill Library

Long before it was renamed and expanded, Magill Library got its start as Alumni Hall. Originally proposed by the Haverford College Alumni Association as a place to hold meetings, the building took on a dual purpose when the Board of Managers suggested that a portion of the hall be used to accommodate the College’s library, which was then bursting out of a second story room in Founders Hall.

Come back tomorrow to see Magill Library at Haverford “Now”.
