UM alum Isha Khan shares her journey to CEO of Canada’s Museum for Human Rights.
In the early ’90s, Isha Khan walked through the University of Manitoba’s sprawling Fort Garry campus, uncertain of where her path would lead. A philosophy student with an affinity for religious studies, she felt a strong pull toward advocacy and social justice, though what form that passion would take was still unclear.
“I always cared about human rights, even if I didn’t know how to name it back then,” Khan [BA/94] says.
