Eleven UWO McNair scholars will present their 2021 research. A wide range of fields are represented including art, biochemistry, gender studies, music, nursing, religion and politics, and physics.

The McNair Scholars Program is a prestigious, federally funded TRIO Program, which seeks to empower high-achieving, first-generation, low-income and racially minoritized undergraduates to realize their potential by providing opportunities to develop skills and gain the experiences that will prepare them for graduate study.

Central to our mission is to build a community of scholarship where participants engage in faculty-mentored research, distinguished by active learning, mutual respect, and collaborative scholarship. Inherit to our mission is to harness the energy of a new and more diverse generation who is committed to scholarly inquiry.
