MATchMapper Talk: Co-sponsored by Havercode & HIP
Tuesday, November 29m, 7:00 pm. in Lutnick 200
MATchMapper aims to address these issues by providing a search tool that unifies existing data sources and corrects many errors. We hope that this tool will be useful to many in the community including individuals seeking treatment, healthcare providers making referrals, and public health officials seeking to understand treatment availability. Free Insomnia cookies will be served.
The MATchMapper team is composed of Haverford students and received an Innovations grant for development in fall 2021.
Talk & Exhibit by Rebecca Fisher '18 & Innovation Fellow '18 + Beyond the Bell Tours Co-founder
Thursday, December 1, 4:00-6:00 p.m. in Lutnick 200
“This semester you can find cofounder Rebecca Fisher at her alma mater, Haverford College as the Tuttle Creative Resident.
She designed and will be offering, “The People’s History Tour of Haverford College,” which explores many of the justice themes experienced on a typical Beyond the Bell Tour. She’ll visit classes (across disciples) and have students from these classes create their own additional tour stops.
This project has been a collaboration among professors, librarians and students and has certainly taken us beyond the bell.”
As a Tuttle Creative Resident, alum-turned-tour guide, Rebecca Fisher ‘18, designed a library exhibit to accompany her People’s History of Haverford College Tour."
Join Rebecca in Lutnick with food, that will include a conversation about the tour and about using tours as a mode of history and storytelling, and also may include student performance of new tour stops, and presentation of new visual materials, etc.

Stuart Weitzman
Friday, December 2, 5:30 p.m. in VCAM Lounge
We're delighted to have award-winning designer and footwear icon Stuart Weitzman talk with us about his illustrious career as a designer and entrepreneur. His passion for design has been a lifelong pursuit, from the time he began working at his father’s Massachusetts shoe factory while still in college. In 1986, he launched his namesake brand, eventually building the globally-renowned company that bears his name. To this day, Stuart Weitzman shoes are synonymous with style and comfort.
Haute Fashion Show
Saturday, December 3, 7:00 p.m. in VCAM
Haute, Incubator Fellows 2021, offers a personalized approach to supporting emerging designers that brings more intentional, immersive, and intimate ways to experience fashion. We believe design is an art and designers are more than their products. In our collective, artists of all backgrounds are able to tell their stories and fully realize their creative visions.
Get a front row seat to all things Haute at our second fashion show in VCAM with work from our 9 newest designers. Partnering with SLOP (Incubator Fellows '21) & Lightcert (Incubator Fellows '22), we are providing a bigger, more enhanced event experience.
Some of our designers prioritize sustainability, some are making size inclusive clothing, others are highlighting their own culture and heritage through their art, but all are working collectively towards bettering the future of fashion — a future that includes everyone. Join us in our disruption.

Ford's Closet Pop-Up & Marketplace
Sunday, December 4, 2:00-4:00 p.m. in VCAM Lounge
Also back for a 2nd year, Ford's Closet is a clothing consignment pop-up and Innovations microgrant recipient in spring 2022. This year will also feature student artisans as part of the shopping marketplace.
Upcycling workshop, Design for Repair and More, from one of Haute’s newest designers, Sara Khan.
"Design for Repair and More: Learn to repair clothing using modern and traditional repair techniques. Learn about the topic “design for repair and deconstruction” defined as clothing construction techniques that facilitate clothing repair and reuse. Watch live demonstrations of denim repair and reuse. The life cycle of a garment is explored in this workshop as an important consideration in its production. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own damaged clothing and I will repair it! Some damages may be out of the scope to repair on the spot so in that case I will give advice on how to do so."
