Hii! I’m Khadija Mistry, originally from India but I grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I’m a sophomore at OU, majoring in International and Area Studies, and before that, I spent two amazing years at UWC Costa Rica (2021-2023).
I’m also the President of The United World, a space where UWCers and international students can come together and share their cultures. I stay super busy with our events and love being part of the international community here! I’m also involved with the Honors Student Diversity Council, another great group focused on inclusivity and representation.
