Events
We organize or co-sponsor various lively and informative events and workshops on campus.
Health-Related Programming
The Health Professions Advising Office sponsors seminars, information sessions, and workshops for prehealth students. We also collaborate with the Dean鈥檚 Office and the Career and Civic Engagement Center to sponsor programming and support other efforts to help students find volunteer opportunities, jobs, and internships and engage with alumni. HPAO co-sponsors programming with the health professions advising offices at Haverford College. HPAO also supports student-led Health Interest Programming (HIP) in considering specific areas of health care. We announce events through the Prehealth ListServ and the Postbac ListServ, as well as through the Daily Digest and other channels.
