Sandy Mekany, a SDSU senior, is among 62 Truman Scholars in the 2023 class. She is the fourth California State University student to receive the scholarship and the first at SDSU.
SAN DIEGO - Sandrien"Sandy" Mekany Wednesday became San Diego State University's first recipient of the Harry S. Truman graduate scholarship, one of 62 in the nation.
"I was too scared to speak up, because who's going to defend me? I'm a little kid," Mekany said."I wanted to meet the idea of what was considered `American enough' in the eyes of my peers and my community." "The biggest thing that I want to do is work in a career where I'm able to advocate for minority students to ensure that they have equitable educational opportunities," she said.
