Each summer, St. Mary's University in San Antonio McNair Scholars participate in an intensive summer research experience. Working closing with a mentor in her/his field, each scholar conducts original research. For some scholars, this summer experience is their first contact with the world of academic research while for others it is an opportunity to build and showcase new skills and expertise. For all of these scholars, the summer is a time to hone the skills that will be crucial to their success in doctoral study. This is a copy of the program for the 14th Annual McNair Summer Research Symposium.
