A Hidden Gem in Fairmount!
Behind the Wall: Fascinating, animated, and illuminating tour of the Founder's Hall Museum at with curator Kathy Haas '00.

In June 1776, French sea captain Stephen Girard arrived in Philadelphia helming a ship in need of emergency repairs. He would make the city his home for the rest of his life before dying in 1831 as the richest man in America. He left his vast fortune to the city of Philadelphia to establish Girard College, originally endowed to educate “poor, white male orphans.” — We explored the complex life of America’s first multi-millionaire and learned about the legacy of a school which has fascinated visitors since the 19th century, became the focus of a key Northern civil rights case in the 20th century, and continues to educate 100s of youth today.

About our Guide:
Kathy Haas, Harvard College '00 is the Director of Historical Resources at Girard College, a position she has held since 2017. In this role she runs the museum in Founder's Hall and conducts all work related to collections, archives, and preservation. Prior to arriving at Girard, Kathy was in the collections department of the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia for twelve years and worked at a number of New England institutions.

This 2026 Nancy-Beth Sheerr Service Award, in recognition of exceptional leadership and service, was awarded to Melanie Sheerr Backlund, AB ‘00, HCP Communications and Membership, President Emerita (Economics Concentrator, Mass Hall, Mather House, MBA, The Baldwin School, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth; MEng, Supply Chain, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.) The award was presented by Justin Martino, HCP President, and Jenna McNeill, HCP Secretary, at the Harvard Club of Philadelphia's State of Club: Annual Meeting & Dinner, which was held this year at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia.

Nancy-Beth Sheerr Service Award:
In 2023, we lost a beloved member of our alumni community here in Philadelphia when Nancy-Beth Sheerr passed away far too soon.

A Radcliffe class of 1971 graduate and past president of our club, Nancy-Beth served on various educational boards, ultimately chairing the boards of trustees at two of her beloved alma maters – Radcliffe College and The Baldwin School. As the last Chair of Radcliffe College, she was instrumental in the merger of Harvard and Radcliffe in 1999 and the formation of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, where she sat on the Dean’s Advisory Council until her death. Her dedication to Harvard was recognized by her receipt of the Harvard Medal in 2021, given to those who have demonstrated extraordinary service to the University, and the Harvard Alumni Association Award in 2010, which recognizes outstanding service to the University through alumni activities.

Nancy-Beth Sheerr was fond of saying of herself, she wasn’t someone who had the money to rename a dorm or endow a chair, but her contributions were her time, her talent, and her energy, and in doing that, she was unsurpassed. And so when someone special like that is lost, we felt it appropriate to honor them and continue to pass the torch forward and recognize a member of the community who has embodied so many of the same ideals that Nancy-Beth did.

Past Award Recipients:
2024 David Chen, MAR '99, MAUD '99
2025 Jenna McNeill, AB '95
