Student Leadership:
Khushi Vora // State Board Chair
Hi! I’m Khushi, a freshman finance major from the New Brunswick campus! I’m also the NJPIRG at New Brunswick chapter chair and State Board Chair, as well as the campaign coordinator for the Climate Action campaign in New Brunswick. I joined NJPIRG by chance when I saw a petitioning event outside Livi Dining Commons (gotta give credit to Julián)! It’s been an amazing, fun and heartwarming experience as we help bring out change in our community and reach so many people while we’re at it! Apart from giving back to my community, I love spending time with my friends and family, baking, driving and sketching/painting.
