Faculty mentor
Faculty mentorship is an important aspect of the McNair Scholars Program. Faculty Mentors are asked to commit their time, expertise, and have a willingness to guide McNair Scholars through the completion of a research project. Faculty Mentors are also asked to provide guidance and support to McNair Scholars throughout the duration of their undergraduate degree by successfully guiding scholars into a graduate program. Because McNair Scholars is for undergraduate students seeking a PhD, Faculty Mentors must possess a PhD.
The McNair Scholars program is currently seeking faculty mentors.

Faculty/Staff referral

If you have any questions about the faculty/staff referral, please contact the McNair Scholars Program.
