McNair Scholars Attend 2025 UCLA National McNair Conference

Nine McNair Scholars attended the 2025 UCLA National McNair Conference with attendees from programs across the United States, July 28-30, in Los Angeles. The students were joined by Charlotte Klimovich, program specialist, and John Quinn, program director and professor of political science and international relations.

All nine students presented their original research to other scholars at one of the nine oral presentation sessions. The conference also featured workshops on financing graduate education and writing a statement of purpose, a networking breakfast, a graduate opportunities fair and five poster sessions along with a sunset UCLA campus tour led by a current graduate student. 

There was also time for an architecture river boat tour in the stopover in Chicago, a USC campus tour and two visits to Santa Monica Pier.
