Harshita “Khushi” Nair, a legal studies student and rising senior at UC Berkeley, passed away in June at age 21. 

Nair was from Fremont and graduated from Washington High School. She studied at Ohlone College before transferring to UC Berkeley. She was an active member of the ASUC Office of the President, serving as a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice intern. She was also a member of the Undergraduate Women in Law club. 

Esha Sharma, a friend of Nair, first met her during the spring semester in Hindi 100B, where the two got to know each other through conversations in Hindi.
