Faculty fuel future scholars through summer research
Some of K-State’s brightest students are getting ready for the rigors of graduate school, thanks to McNair Scholarship research internships and faculty mentoring.
The program is a cornerstone of the McNair Scholars initiative, which aims to increase the presence of first-generation, income-eligible, and underrepresented students in graduate education.
Each summer, K-State faculty guide these talented undergraduates in completing their research projects, mastering theoretical frameworks and preparing for the rigors of graduate school.
Each mentor plays a fundamental role in helping scholars achieve their research goals and envision their future academic paths. Professors invest in developing students’ skills and preparing for the next steps in their education.
For a final project, the McNair Scholars present their research findings to the K-State community and showcase their hard work and innovative ideas. The event is an excellent opportunity for everyone to support these emerging researchers and celebrate their achievements.
