Last day for support!
Hi, everyone!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this amazing initiative. We could not do it without you! At our recent banquet, we asked our scholars what the McNair program meant to them. Enjoy this short video with some of our wonderful students!
If you have not made a gift yet, there's still time! Today is the last day to make your gift to the McNair Program through our crowdfunding platform. Our portal will be open until midnight.
Thanks again for all your support!
A Message from Cristina Lara '08
Hi, everyone!
Thanks so much for your support of our McNair Scholars program!
We wanted to share with you a message from a McNair alumnae, Cristina Lara '08. She shares with us the impact that the McNair program has had on her career years after graduation. Check out the video below!
If you have not yet donated, there's still plenty of time to make a difference in a student's life.
Thank you again for your generous support!
