McNair Scholars Present at Conference
Ten McNair Scholars traveled to Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 20-22 to present at the 17th Annual Missouri-Kansas-Nebraska (MKN) Heartland Research Conference.
The Heartland Conference program included individual student research presentations, a graduate school recruitment fair, a financial literacy seminar and speakers who provided information about application to and strategies for success in graduate school.
Scholars presented the results of their research, conducted during the summer of 2013. This was part of various summer research internship programs including the Truman State University McNair Research Internship II, the Tru-Scholars Program, The Leadership Alliance Summer Research Early Identification Program and NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates.
Students presented research from a wide array of disciplines including psychology, chemistry, education, agricultural science, communication disorders, health sciences, English, history and computer science.
The McNair Program is one of eight TRIO programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education whose ultimate goal is to significantly increase the number of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in higher education. The McNair Program is designed to prepare first generation, income eligible and/or underrepresented Truman students for doctoral studies leading to a Ph.D. degree.
