Summer Centered: Sophie Frank ’19

For Sophie Frank ’19, a comparative literature major, a French minor, and a concentration in Africana studies means having the tools to tell the stories that don’t always make it into the limelight. This summer, at her internship at ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, funded by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities, the Los Angeles local is hoping to learn and share the stories of the LGBTQ community in her hometown.

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
