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.

Two recent Emory College alumni who are working to improve the lives of migrants and refugees have been named to the 2021–22 class of Luce Scholars.
The prestigious fellowship will provide Zach Denton 18C and Yaza Sarieh 20C the opportunity for immersive work in Asia, work that will broaden their understanding of migrant experiences in education and the system of refugee resettlement and aid, respectively.
This marks the first time Emory has had two winners in a single round of the program, which is awarded annually to no more than 18 graduating seniors, graduate students and young professionals in the U.S. They join 11 previous Emory winners of the highly competitive fellowship.
