He cannot wait to begin to apply these skills and learn from the Rose Institute. Elsewhere on campus Nohl runs track for CMS and enjoys reading and hiking.

Dai-Khoa Nathaniel Khai Tran POM’23
A proud resident of Tracy, California, Nathan is hoping to major in Politics and History. Nathan has always been fascinated with government, reading countless books about America’s Founders and Presidents throughout his childhood. However, this interest deepened into a passion in high school, when he started interning for City Councilwoman Rhodesia Ransom. This experience made Nathan realize that policy — good and bad, quiet and loud, municipal and national — can have huge effects on people’s daily lives. As one of the first Pomona College students to work at the Rose in a long time, Nathan looks forward to exploring these effects alongside the 5Cs’ sharpest political minds. When he’s not studying or working, Nathan likes to micromanage his hometown’s Young Democrats chapter, bike very slowly around Claremont, and cry over anything that stars Sterling K. Brown.
