McNair Conference Presenter 2025

The Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement (McNair Scholars) Program provides valuable experiences that prepare students for graduate studies in various fields. This program engages students in research, mentoring, and other scholarly activities. Participants in the McNair program come from diverse backgrounds and demonstrate significant academic potential. The program aims to increase the number of research-focused doctoral degrees earned by students from underrepresented communities.

The 33rd Annual McNair Research Conference occurred from September 18th to 20th, 2025. Attendees gathered to network and be inspired by fellow National McNair participants, connect with representatives from McNair-friendly graduate programs, and present their research, building lasting relationships with others with similar research interests. The conference provides opportunities that support the attainment of research-based doctoral degrees for students from historically excluded segments of society.
