COURTESY OF NIHAAL RAHMAN
Rahman aims to become a pediatrician.
Senior Nihaal Rahman was one of 18 students to be named a Luce Scholar last month. Founded in 1974, the prestigious scholarship is awarded annually by the Henry Luce Foundation to provide students with professional training to elevate their understanding of Asia. Each scholar is assigned to work with an organization somewhere in Asia based on their interests. This year’s program will last from August 2021 to July 2022.
Rahman transferred from the University of Virginia to Hopkins as a sophomore. Though he entered college as a prospective Neuroscience major, Rahman quickly gravitated toward Public Health and Environmental Science as a double major, something he believes resulted from his eagerness to explore different subjects in his first year.
