Just two days after Vice President and Dean of the College John McKnight announced his departure from Haverford College for Dartmouth, President Wendy Raymond issued a statement announcing her retirement. These significant shake-ups in College leadership come after several challenging years for college campuses across the country, due in part to protests surrounding Gaza and concerns about antisemitism. Haverford was often at the center of this unrest, with President Raymond testifying before the House Committee on Education and Workforce on May 7.
President Raymond has served as Haverford’s president for over six years, during which several key achievements have marked her tenure. The Haverford 2030 strategic plan, the formation of the Michael B. Kim Institute for Ethical Inquiry and Leadership, and clean energy initiatives rank among her most significant accomplishments as president. She has also championed efforts to advance inclusion, especially through the Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) division.
