Alynn Jimenez Miranda ’27 has been named a 2026 Truman Scholar.

Alynn began working to prevent violence against women years ago.

As a teen in Mexico, she saw how violent crime disproportionately affected women and took action, organizing workshops on gender-based violence, debating policy in the Mexican Congress, and later founding Revolución Violeta, a bilingual organization addressing gender-based violence across borders.

“I am committed to public service and public policy not only because of my personal experience, but also because I have the privilege of entering spaces where stories like mine and the stories of many people around me are often underrepresented and deserve a seat at the table,” Alynn says.

“Savor this moment and know how proud we are of you,” President Vanessa Beasley told Alynn at a surprise ceremony on campus. “Alynn is Trinity’s first Truman Scholar in over 25 years, and yet I suspect this national recognition of her work is just the beginning of her impact.”

Truman Scholars are chosen for their academic success, leadership, and likelihood of becoming public service leaders, and they receive funding for graduate study and opportunities in federal service. This year, she is one of 55 from across the country selected for this prestigious award and the first Trinity student to earn this distinction since 1998.

Alynn, a political science and international studies major, plans to earn a master’s in public administration with a concentration in international development from the Harvard Kennedy School, then return to San Antonio and run for city council.
