Once plagued by “brain drain,” Haverford’s big city neighbor has become an increasingly popular post-commencement destination for the College’s grads, many of whom are working to better life for all in their adopted hometown.

Where They’re Headed: Sophie Wasserman ’13

After graduating in May, Psychology major Sophie Wasserman traveled to Thailand to work with Think Elephants International, a non-profit organization that uses cognitive testing, field research, and educational programs to promote ecological understanding and protect elephant populations.

Wasserman credits Haverford’s senior thesis process and study abroad program for her ability to confidently conduct research in an international setting.

“Where They’re Headed” is a series of occasional blog posts reporting on the post-Haverford plans of members of the Class of 2013.
