Welcome to the Haverford Life Podcast, the pod that seeks the stories and experiences of the people that make up Haverford College. After one short semester at Haverford, it has become apparent to me that many students are unaware of the crucial jobs that keep the college running. The hard work of - for example - deans, DC workers, faculty, managers, librarians and maintenance workers largely go unnoticed, yet, without these people, there would be no Haverford College. The Life Podcast aims to bridge this gap of understanding.
