Kiah Duggins (1994-2025), a native of Wichita, Kansas, studied International Business, Economics and Spanish at Wichita State University. At Wichita State, she served as Student Government Association Chief of Staff, Ambassador of Diversity and Inclusion, and Student Ambassador Society member. Her dedication to expanding opportunity for underserved communities led her to create “The Princess Project,” empowering underrepresented high school girls through college readiness and civic engagement.
After earning a Resolution Fellowship at CGIU 2015, Duggins completed a Fulbright in Taiwan (2017) and attended Harvard Law School, where she became president of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. She went on to work as a civil rights attorney and was preparing to begin teaching at Howard University Law School when she tragically passed away at age 30. Her legacy includes her transformative work in education access, civil rights, and community empowerment.
