“The most valuable part of McNair experience was learning what is expected from a graduate student. Not only did McNair prepare me in my search for a graduate program, but it also exposed me to what is expected when conducting research. The research portion was my favorite part of the program; while it was a lot of work, the experience I gained from it is unforgettable."
