History major and former Haverford soccer player Adam Cann '06 has written more than 800 posts for the Philly Soccer Page.

The original appeal was the dynamic nature of the sport. Once it starts, it keeps going. You have to figure out what’s happening on the fly.”—Adam Cann '06

Read "For the Love of Soccer" in the Winter 2017 issue of Haverford magazine.

Academic Partnerships

Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore students take classes at all three schools and frequently collaborate on extracurricular activities.  

A recent open classroom event, exploring “the everyday language of racism,” brought together Swarthmore and Haverford classes and showcased the strength of Linguistics, the first Tri-College department.

Assistant Professor of Linguistics Brook Lillehaugen (Haverford, standing center) and Assistant Professor of Linguistics Jamie Thomas (Swarthmore, standing left) hosted an open discussion with students, faculty, and staff in Founders Common Room.
