List of Haverford College people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by PDGPA (talk | contribs) at 16:41, 31 October 2020 (Higher education and academia: added Mark A.R. Kleiman '72). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This List of Haverford College people includes alumni and faculty of Haverford College. Haverford is a smaller college and has a smaller alumni population than its peers. Because expansion occurred in the 1980s, most of Haverford's alumni are still quite young. Despite this, as of 2010, Haverford alumni include five Nobel Prizes, four MacArthur Fellows, 20 Rhodes Scholarships, 10 Marshall Scholarships, nine Henry Luce Fellowships,[1] 56 Watson Fellowships,[1] two George Mitchell Scholarship, two Carnegie Endowment Junior Fellowships,[1] two Churchill Scholars, one Gates Cambridge Scholar,[1] 13 All Americans, and 23 NCAA post-graduate winners.
