Peri Kahn My name is Peri Kahn and I am a sophomore here on staff at the MCIPO. I am from White Plains, New York, and I am a political science major and a math and statistics double minor. Here at Muhlenberg, I am also on the softball team where I play the infield and am a member of Head in the Game and the Women in Political Science club. Some other loves of mine are the New York Giants, my dog Axel, and cooking.
