Name: Munahil Sultana

Recipient Year: 2022

Description: Growing up as a first-generation Pakistani-American in a low-income household, Muna quickly realized the importance of thinking as a revolutionary. Born and raised in New York, she fell in love with the melting pot around her - a blended mixture of cultures, religions, values, and ideologies. She hopes to continue paying homage to her roots and think in this global perspective in different avenues of her life. Muna received a Bachelor of Arts, joint-majoring in Government and International Studies with a minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Franklin and Marshall College. Intertwining her appreciation for a global perspective and her passion for public policy, Muna hopes to become a Foreign Service Officer (FSO) for the U.S. Department of State.
