>Now That’s Moxie!

>How’s this for breaking stereotypes?

…a four-year member of the football and baseball teams, and a band member, Kiran is a well-liked out gay student.

Kiran Raghubir was recently given a Moxie Award and a $2000 scholarship from an organization called PFund.

He always put his academics first—as a result, he has been recognized two years running for having the highest GPA of any player on the football team. According to his Admission Possible senior coach, Kiran has a deep knowledge of himself and his identity, and he is masterful when interacting with his peers. Kiran plans to integrate his love of the clarinet and piano with his college career.
