The McNair Scholars Program changed my life.

As a first-gen student, I found mentors, community, and confidence to pursue grad school. My reflection on language, mentorship & community is now published in the McNair National Research Journal.

Honored that our seminar received a Centennial Session Distinction!

Even more meaningful: I’ll be presenting it in Spanish, my native language 🤩
