Junior political science and African-American studies major Kylie Patterson hopes to come away from Temple Student Government’s elections on April 7 and 8 with the title TSG President.

But even if she doesn’t, she’s still got an impressive one of her own on her resume now: Truman Scholar.

TTN profiled Patterson’s quest in the March 3 issue: “Student seen as “Truman material.”

As Temple’s only Truman finalist among 194 students, Patterson had to go through an extensive interview process, but it paid off.

She’s the recipient of $30,000 toward graduate school and a paid internship in Washington, D.C.

This summer, Patterson plans to study public policy research at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University before deciding where to apply that money.

She said it could be Harvard University or a law school.

And she’s not ruling out running for another title with president in it in the future.
