Astrophysics major Nick Sweeney ’19 is using mathematical models to replicate the ways galaxies clumped together in the early universe—and, hopefully, to learn more about the nature of dark matter as a result.
Sweeney will work alongside Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy Daniel Grin and use novel dark matter models to describe the structure of the early universe thanks to funding from the Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center. "Summer Centered" is a series exploring our students' Center-funded summer work. Photo by Alexandra Iglesia '21.
Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
Haverford alumni are feeding the world (and slaking its thirst) with an impressive array of food- and beverage-related ventures. We've mapped them around the country, and you can add your own!

Growth and structure of cities majors and co-heads of the Bi-Co Architecture Club, Nicky Rhodes ’19 and Austin Huber ’19 used skills developed in an architecture studio course to design the new Victorian-inspired bus stop and bike shelter near the North Dorms. Photo: Justin Brendel '18.
