The McNair Scholars program is pleased to announce its new cohort. This summer 20 students from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Crookston campuses, Carleton College, and University of St. Thomas are conducting research under the direction of distinguished university faculty research mentors and attending graduate school preparation seminars. Six CEHD students are scholars and five CEHD faculty are serving as mentors: Shonda Craft (family social science), Ann Masten (child development), Priscilla Gibson (SSW), Bob Poch (postsecondary teaching and learning), and Catherine Solheim (family social science).
Please hold the date for the Twenty-First Annual Poster Presentation and Reception for student participants and their faculty mentors on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2-4 p.m., at Coffman Memorial Union. This gathering will provide an excellent forum to display the research efforts of these exceptional McNair Scholars and their University of Minnesota faculty mentors. In addition, the reception will provide the opportunity to thank individuals who have wholeheartedly contributed time and effort to make the McNair program a success at the University of Minnesota.
