“The best part of my McNair experience was having the opportunity to conduct research and see a project develop from an idea into a completed study. Throughout the McNair program, I learned how to persevere through unexpected challenges. Most importantly, the program showed me that I am capable of doing research and succeeding in a graduate-level setting."
