Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Access

Heritage month and recognition day initiatives and programs celebrate, educate, and honor the culture, history, struggle, and contributions of historically marginalized people and communities in the U.S, as well as engage in advocacy and liberatory work at Haverford College and beyond.

  Honoring Our Roots and Culture Committee

Our goal is to use the monthly themes as an opportunity to highlight and recognize identities, cultures, and histories that are often overlooked. These identities are lived and commemorated year round, in relationship and intersecting with multiple other identities in our lives. Our work seeks to intentionally celebrate our roots while in community with each other. These celebrations are not time-limited; they are a starting point for education, community engagement, and a marker of our commitment to diversity.
