Fisher Hassenfeld College House is being renovated!
The Quadrangle has been undergoing renovations for the past two years, and this year is Fisher Hassenfeld's turn. For this reason, Fisher Hassenfeld is closed for academic year 2025-26, and we look forward to reopening in fall 2026!
Head down any of the historic hallways in Fisher Hassenfeld and you are bound to run into a lively group headed to the lounge for snacks and a movie, a faculty resident, or students on their way over to say ‘hi!’ Around here, we are known for our care and concern for one another, our ties to the surrounding Philadelphia community, and our shared interest in leaving the world better than we found it.
In Fisher, we explore Philadelphia and believe in becoming active global citizens while also making positive contributions to the community around us. We promote engagement in social responsibility, public affairs and public culture. Residential programs integrate living and learning through life sciences, media and communication, religious and philosophical traditions, music, and politics.
The Fisher Way!
Res publicae et res populi suggests that the House has an abiding interest in "public affairs and public culture" as evidenced in various programs and events, and engagement with popular issues.
