Aiyana Medina, a proud Ysleta High School graduate, has recently been crowned Miss UTEP 2024, adding another remarkable achievement to her growing list of accomplishments. She is among several students being featured on a recent episode of "The College Tour," a streaming TV series that tells the story of colleges and universities around the world.

Each episode of "The College Tour" focuses on a single college or university, with student-driven segments that give audiences an inside look at what it’s truly like being a student at the featured college or university.

Aiyana was chosen among hundreds to be featured on "The College Tour" episode featuring UTEP, where she is currently attending and majoring in business, thanks to a full-ride Terry Scholarship.

At UTEP, Aiyana is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Women’s Fraternity, where she advocates for breast cancer education and awareness. "We are a family that supports each other, making my college transition easier," she said.

Aiyana also interns at UTEP's Student Engagement and Leadership Center, helping organize major events like Minerpalooza and Texas Western Gold Rush. "UTEP is a hidden gem among Texas universities," Aiyana adds. "The opportunities here have helped me grow both as a scholar and an individual. By the time I graduate, I know I'll be well-prepared to start my own media marketing company. Go Miners!"
