KINSC Scientific Imaging Contest

This homepage ran on Monday, June 12, 2017. Content and links may have changed.

The KINSC Scientific Imaging Contest is an annual competition for student-submitted images from experiments or simulations that are scientifically intriguing as well as aesthetically pleasing. Judging is based on both the quality of the image and the explanation of the underlying science.

Being a Student-Athlete

"When I stepped onto campus freshman year I never envisioned that I would consider my teammates and my coaches as family. By pushing each other to succeed both on and off the court, that dynamic grows stronger each day. I am so proud to wear Haverford on my chest and play the game that I love while being a part of something much larger than myself." –Sierra Berkel '18

Learning to Do the Right Thing

In today’s world of “fake news,” “post-truths,” and “alternative facts,” Haverford’s Initiative in Ethical Engagement and Leadership (IEEL) may be more important than ever. So far IEEL has hosted a symposium on scientific ethics, created the Ethical Leadership Summer Institute (ELSI) led by visiting professor Neal Grabell ’77, and funded the “Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility” working group on campus.

Professor Kaye Edwards and the inaugural group of IEEL students (clockwise from top left) Freda Coren '17, George O'Hara '18, Smitha Pallaki BMC '17, Nathan Sokolic '19, Allison Hacker '17, and Amanda Grolig '19 gave presentations on the off-campus groups they volunteer with as part of their course requirements for the new Community Engagement and Social Responsibility seminar.
