Campus

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship grew out of faculty and student interests that emerged in the late 1990s. Since then, the Center has developed and expanded into a flourishing nexus of social responsibility, civic engagement, and global peace work, both on campus and in the greater community.

A discussion section at the MMUF Regional Conference at Haverford College

Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program seeks to diversify the faculty in higher education. It prepares fellows to enter Ph.D. programs by underwriting time for research and writing, connecting students with faculty mentors, and creating opportunities such as annual conferences. Fellows build support networks across schools, gain experience presenting their own research, and learn from the projects and perspectives of others.

At the 2017 Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference for the program, fellows and coordinators from local MMUF institutions visited Haverford for two days.
