Description
This is the fifth journal for the McNair Scholars Program at St. Mary's University.
"In October of 2007, St. Mary’s University received the very happy news that we had been awarded our first Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program grant- and the world changed just a bit for St. Mary’s undergraduate students. The McNair Program was funded with the charge to facilitate the pursuit of graduate degrees among students traditionally underrepresented in graduate education. St. Mary’s program would be unique in that it would include students from Humanities & Social Sciences, the Bill Greehey School of Business and the school of Science, Engineering and Technology. These students would differ in many ways, but all would share a common aspiration- to join the professoriate and change the face of American higher education. This journal represents the final class of McNair scholars supported by that grant. Each scholar was mentored during his or her project by a dedicated expert in his or her area of interest. Many of these mentors are faculty members at St. Mary’s, but others are from outside universities and agencies. Each of these mentors deserves special recognition for their dedication to these scholars and their future. Five years from its inception, the St. Mary’s University McNair Scholars Program is preparing to celebrate our first doctoral degree recipients. The scholars whose work is represented in this volume are embarking on a journey that will lead to their doctoral degrees in a few short years. This commemorates great beginnings from those who will build the future of higher education in our country. It has been our pleasure to work with these students and we look forward to celebrating their future accomplishments".
