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.
