      Nina Lukina
Columbia College of Columbia University
Nina Lukina, daughter of Vladimir Lukin, a VP in Jefferies' Technology group in New Jersey, is one of the Jefferies Family Scholarship's new award recipients. Nina is a rising sophomore at Columbia College of Columbia University, majoring in Economics-Mathematics. Nina went to high school at Midwood in Brooklyn, New York. She was president of the Key Club, a position which allowed her to do a great deal of community service. Nina's hobbies include playing tennis, writing, studying languages, and reading great literature in their original languages, including Russian and Spanish. Last month, Nina went on a month-long study abroad trip to China with Brooklyn College where she studied the amazing Chinese language and culture first-hand.


I became involved with the Jefferies Family Scholarship because of the tremendous opportunities the Scholarship can open up for its recipients and the additional incentive it provides for the children of Jefferies' employees to work that much harder every day in furthering their educational goals and achieving their full potential.
