Meet graduating student Alexandra Lahiri ’25, a first-generation Greek-Indian American at SMU completing dual majors in International Studies at @SMUDedman and Music at @smumeadows, along with minors in Classical Studies, Latin European Studies and Church Music. Her involvement on and off campus sparked a strong passion for international law, leading her to pursue SMU’s prelaw track. While at SMU, Alexandra earned a Richter International Research Fellowship, which she used during her study abroad to continue researching her family’s connection to the Kalavryta Massacre in Greece during World War II—a project featured by SMU News and local media.
