Amira Abujbara ’17 was completely new to fencing when she joined the Haverford team as a sophomore. In just three short years, the foilist rose to the rank of team captain while her fencing prowess earned her a spot on the national team of her native Qatar.

Read "Fencing in Qatar" in the Spring/Summer 2017 issue of Haverford magazine.

Abujbara, who graduated in May with a degree in English and a minor in environmental studies, was recognized as an Eastern Women’s Fencing Conference Women of the Year honorable mention selection.
