Krisztina Kapin is a rising junior undertaking a double major in philosophy and political science with a pre-law minor at the University of Dayton. A member of the Honors Program, she is one of only seven students selected to represent the university through its Honors “D.C. Flyers” internship program over the summer of 2022.

Her Hungarian heritage prompted her to seek out organizations with close ties to her country, traditions, and culture. Growing up in New York City, she has always been an active member of the local Hungarian-American community, participating in Hungarian schooling, scouting, and mass. In 2017, she won first place in the NYC regional Hungarian poetry recital contest and progressed on to the national competition held at the Hungarian Embassy in Washington, D.C., where she subsequently won first place in her age group.

The Hungary Foundation is a solely charitable 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Foundation pursues its mission and goals by supporting Hungarian-American organizations and by supporting programs that strengthen interaction and cooperation between Hungarian and American citizens and institutions. In particular, the Foundation is focused on supporting cultural, educational and scholarly activities. The Foundation does not participate in political activities, political or election campaigns.
