“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

Through funding from the KINSC, Katie Sheline ’13 was able to join Environmental chemist Helen White as part of a team of scientists on a research cruise that studied the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Haverford’s three academic Centers shape daily life at the College by invigorating the arts on campus, supporting cutting-edge research and inspiring students on issues across the globe.
