Harper Talks Episode 51 – Maham Khan
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026

Harper alumna and current mass communication professor Maham Khan shares her journey from starting at Harper with uncertainty—and during the tumultuous days of 9/11—to discovering her voice through leadership, speech and debate, and ultimately journalism. She reflects on overcoming stigma around community college, transferring to Northwestern, and building a career in Chicago media before returning to Harper as faculty. Maham also discusses her upcoming memoir project with a wrongfully convicted exoneree and offers meaningful advice to students about embracing growth, resilience, and self‑discovery.
