“Computer Security: Attacks and Defenses”

Taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science Kristopher Micinski, this course offers a broad introduction to the field of computer security from two concurrent perspectives: attacks on systems and defenses against those attacks.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

Senior Thesis - Rory Kennison ’18

Every Haverford major includes a capstone project. Rory Kennison ’18 wrote a two-act play for the thesis of his independent theater major, and, with the help of seven student actors, presented his production as a poignant staged reading.
