What They Learned: Caleb Eckert '17

Caleb Eckert '17 pondered the pivotal role of water in the lives of those in his hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona. The anthropology major and environmental studies minor filmed and researched alongside springs ecologists to understand the settler colonial entanglements of human-water relationships in Northern Arizona.

Office Hour – Lou Charkoudian '03

Assistant Professor of Chemistry Lou Charkoudian '03 has lots of books in her office, but two have particular significance: the chemistry textbooks she used when she was a Haverford student in the organic chemistry classes of professors Karin Åkerfeldt and Fran Blase, who are now Charkoudian’s colleagues. 

Read Office Hour in the Spring/Summer 2017 issue of Haverford Magazine.

Charkoudian, who has a Ph.D. from Duke University, describes her research and teaching interests as lying “at the intersection of organic chemistry and biology.”  Photo: Patrick Montero.
