Biography
Sophie Goodfellow (she/her) joined the Haverford community in November of 2023 as the the Assistant Director of International Affairs. In this role, Sophie advises both: on Haverford-approved study abroad programs in Latin America, Spain and Asia, as well as F-1 international students in maintaining their status while studying at Haverford. Sophie collaborates with folks across campus to provide comprehensive programming to prepare, support and celebrate both the international student community, as well as those that study abroad. Sophie believes that student voice is imperative - if you have a programming idea or a need on campus, sgoodfello [at] haverford.edu (email Sophie)!
A few of the lenses through which Sophie sees the world and this work include that: Community is imperative for resistance, joy and progression. Together, we can and should reimagine our world, while intentionally examining the systems of privilege and power at play and taking steps to dismantle those systems. It's important to listen to one another with true empathy, seeing the humaness and uniqueness in each person. And, we are always learning; the learning never ends!
Outside of work, you can find Sophie playing soccer 2-3x a week for her two soccer leagues, watching soccer (go Gotham FC and USWNT!), adventuring with her 6-year-old mini poodle (Naya Raine), and hiking national parks or traveling to new places with her partner, Carolina.
