Where They’re Headed

“[Haverford taught me]academic and humanitarian interests need not be mutually exclusive,” says AmeriCorps member Rebecca Schwartz ’13, “and that my academic background can, and should, serve my community and help to build connections among the people I encounter.”

Rebecca Schwartz '13 gives a tour to prospective students on Open Campus Day 2013.
