Under an Oak
A collaboration between Haverford’s Arboretum Association and Thomas Devaney‘s Advanced Poetry Workshop led to “Under an Oak: A Tree Poetry Tour,” in which Devaney’s students read their original poems dedicated to campus trees.
Associate Professor of Chemistry Alexander Norquist helped develop an introductory chemistry curriculum and has published 16 research papers with 15 different students as co-authors.
