McNair Scholars Attend Heartland Research Conference

Nineteen McNair scholars attended the MKN Heartland McNair Research Conference with approximately 200 other McNair scholars from programs across the United States in Kansas City, Missouri, Sept. 19-21. The students were joined by Charlotte Klimovich, program specialist, and John Quinn, program director and professor of political science and international relations.

The conference enabled scholars to present their work and/or see the work of fellow McNair scholars at one of the many presentation sessions. The conference also featured a session on publishing academic research, a graduate school fair and three keynote speakers covering topics from financial literacy, to strategies for success in graduate school, to the role McNair plays in helping scholars succeed.
