Raafay Khan

Hi! My name is Raafay Khan and I’m a freshman serving on the First Year Council. I’m majoring in Political Science and Economics on a pre-law track, and am also passionate about anti-corporate politics and criminal justice reform. On campus, I’m involved in the Muslim Student Association, College Democrats, and am on the Mock Trial team. Having done lots of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work in the past, I hope that on FYC I can help make SGB even more accessible to underrepresented student groups, as well as make Pitt more appreciative of all people and what makes them unique. Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas!
