2013 Study Abroad Photo Contest – Places

Studying abroad in Paris gave me the confidence to set out on my own and explore the world around me. The challenge of becoming fluent in a different language gave me the strength to face many new experiences while abroad. It was also an amazing supplement to my French minor and an experience I would recommend to anyone studying a language as part of their degree. ” – Nora Landis-Shack ’13

Middle East & Islamic Studies

The College has a concentration in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. These programs—which include fields such as Scientific Computing and Peace, Justice and Human Rights—give students the opportunity to pursue an area of study distinct from, but relevant to, their choice of major.

Kitt Peak

Astronomy students get the chance to explore the Universe using telescopes like the one shown here, at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Postdoctoral scholar John Bochanski captured this image on a recent trip, where he and Assistant Professor of Astronomy Beth Willman led student observations of the night sky.

Forget Photoshop, Bochanski used a red LED flashlight to spell out Haverford while photographing during a long exposure to achieve this impressive effect!
