Tickets are not required for Commencement, nor is there a limit to the number of guests graduates may invite. View the schedule.
The campus has four honeybee hives near the retention pond behind HaverFarm. The Haverford BeeKeeping Club, formed by Alanna Matteson '15 and Dana Ducombe '17 in 2015, proposed the hives as part of a larger national effort to restore the U.S. honeybee population.
The KINSC Scientific Imaging Contest is an annual competition for student-submitted images from experiments or simulations that are scientifically intriguing as well as aesthetically pleasing. Judging is based on both the quality of the image and the explanation of the underlying science.
A team of Haverford College researchers—which includes Assistant Professor of Computer Science Sorelle Friedler, Associate Professor of Chemistry Alexander Norquist, Associate Professor of Chemistry Joshua Schrier, and several student researchers—published a cover story in Nature on using unpublished "dark reactions" to create a machine-learning algorithm that is able to predict reaction successes or failures with greater accuracy than human intuition.

“I specifically remember choosing Haverford, in part, because of the 4+1 engineering program. It provides a fantastic opportunity for Haverford students to get two degrees from two great schools in only five years, while also opening up an avenue into the engineering world for those of us who want to pursue that career path.” - Sam Yarosh '16
Haverford is the first liberal arts college in the world to enter into such an agreement with an Ivy League engineering program.

Haverford faculty members are internationally recognized thought-leaders dedicated to working closely with undergraduates. Sixty-one percent of our faculty live on campus, allowing them to develop strong, supportive ties and undertake in-depth research with their students.
