Watch Discovering
Albert, a documentary about
my grandfather that I made with Gebby Keny
and Vanessa Douglas of Haverford College. The
film recently won an award for Best Coursework
Film at the Tri-Co Film Festival and was featured
in an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Hello and welcome to carlsigmond.com!
My name is Carl Sigmond. I grew up in the
Germantown and Mt. Airy sections of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and graduated in the 268th Class
of Central High School. I have attended Germantown
Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of
Friends (Quakers) since 1994 and have been
a member there since 2000.
I am a junior and a Computer Science major
at Haverford College, a small liberal arts
college just outside of Philadelphia. At Haverford,
every student is required to complete a comprehensive
senior thesis project in order to graduate.
Computer Science majors wait until
the beginning of their senior year to select
thesis topics, but I am exploring the possibility
of doing research in the area of accessible
computing. I have invented an alternative input
device for typing on a computer, a system which
I use every day.
In addition to my major, I have developed
an independent minor in Quaker Studies at Haverford.
Through my course of study, I am exploring
the relationship between Quaker faith and social
action. Given our changing world and the growing
prevalence of nonviolent direct action in the
recent demands for a more just society, I view
this study as critical to helping understand
the role of faith in social movements. I also
aim to deepen my own knowledge of Quakerism,
both for personal growth and as I continue
to be a leader in Quaker youth communities.

Thank you for visiting my website and have
a peaceful day.
