Brief statement about how the McNair Scholars Program helped you get where you are today.
Being a McNair scholars has helped me to become more confident in myself. It has helped me gain the insight and the attitude needed for higher education. I would not be in the place that I am mentally, strong and curious, if it were not for the kind and inspiration words of Dr. Jack Schmit and the support and guidance from Ms. Jennifer Barron.
Addtional Information
