These faculty members also provide valuable guidance to students when they are making choices of graduate study. In addition, library mentors have been selected to help McNair Scholars prepare research materials for their senior projects. McNair Scholars meet with their library mentors individually throughout the year to develop strategies for successfully negotiating the large and complex world of references, journal articles, and computer-aided searches. The McNair Program offers educational and supportive services to help prepare students for the rigors of graduate education. These services include counseling, academic enrichment, preparation for graduate school admission and examinations, and opportunities for research under the guidance of university professors and librarians who serve as mentors.
Funds are available for travel to professional conventions.
