How to Get Help
Struggling with this class? Knowing your Consul from your Comitium have you confused? Worried about an upcoming activity? Need help correcting a quiz or revising an essay? Just want to study with someone who can pitch in as needed? Having trouble finding time for Rome in your busy Haverfordian or Mawrtyr lifestyle? You’ve come to the right place!
Need help with anything connected to the course, or not sure what kind of help to ask for?
Contact Prof. Mulligan (bmulliga@haverford.edu); I may take 24 hours or so to respond to emails, but I’m happy to answer quick questions about Rome, schedule an appointment to meet with you, or help you figure out which other resources to draw on.
Looking to drop in and get questions answered?
Come to Prof. Mulligan’s standing, no-appointment needed drop-in hour in Hall 109: M 11:30–12:30. You can also reserve a slot on Prof. Mulligan’s calendar.
Looking for more extended one-on-one help with the class?
Meet with one of our outstanding TAs! [More information soon]
You can schedule an appointment with a tutor through the Office of Academic Resources: https://www.haverford.edu/academic-resources/peer-tutoring. These tutors are free. If you need more focused help, or want to meet with someone on a regular basis, I highly recommend taking advantage of this service.
Struggling to balance your responsibilities in this course with other courses, sleep, social life, activities?
You@Haverford is a personalized and anonymous online hub of evidence-based resources and articles focused on general health, well-being, academic and personal success.
The Office of Academic Resources has coaches who will meet with you for free to discuss time management, balancing your many demands, and other skills for surviving your college experience. Like all other OAR services, this is totally free! A majority of Haverford students will use the OAR at some point in their time here – why not get started?
OAR offers one-on-one coaching sessions: https://www.haverford.edu/academic-resources/coaching-training
As well as free workshops: https://www.haverford.edu/academic-resources/workshops-events
And online guides for all kinds of academic challenges like procrastination, time management, or exam prep: https://www.haverford.edu/academic-resources/learning-resources
Students can email staff directly, speak with intern at front desk (Stokes 118), or use online scheduling tool in order to schedule personalized coaching sessions.
Daily walk in hours from 1-2 p.m. (M-F)
Having a hard time adjusting to life at Haverford, feeling lonely, depressed, overwhelmed, or otherwise finding your mental or emotional state is hindering you?
CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) offers free, confidential meetings with therapists to discuss whatever is troubling you: https://www.haverford.edu/counseling-psychological-services.
You don’t need a mental health diagnosis, you don’t pay, your parents don’t have to know – it’s fully free and confidential. If you want to talk with a sympathetic, trained counselor who is not a professor, fellow student, friend, parent, or someone else who has any kind of other relationship with you, this is the place to go! I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Students can call (610-896-1290), email (hc-caps@haverford.edu), stop by in person (Stokes 203), or use an online scheduling tool to make an appointment.
The office is open 9-5 M-F, with daily drop in hours from 11-12 and 2-3.
Students can speak to a Counselor on Call when the office is closed by calling Campus Safety (610-896-1111).
None of these sound quite right, but I’m still having a hard time?
Come to Prof. Mulligan’s standing, no-appointment needed drop-in hour in Hall 109: M 11:30–12:30. You can also reserve a slot on Prof. Mulligan’s calendar. If I can’t help you myself, I guarantee I know someone who can! It can be hard to navigate all the different resources available on campus, so if you’re not sure how to get help but you’re struggling with any aspect of your life here, feel free to come talk to me.
