Gaining Research Experience
Scholars conduct a McNair Research Project with the guidance of a McNair Faculty Mentor. Faculty Mentors guide Scholars as they develop academic and professional skills and to meet scholarly performance standards crucial to successfully completing graduate level work. Many Scholars attend national conferences to presentations of their research and are eligible for travel funds to do so. Scholars publish their research project in The McNair Journal, with many going on to publish their research in scholarly journals and to continue their research through to graduate school.
