McNair Faculty Mentors
Faculty research mentors
The centerpiece of the UMM McNair program is collaborative research with a faculty research mentor. McNair Scholars are highly motivated, graduate school bound students, and McNair faculty mentors are similarly driven to do quality research with undergraduates. Faculty members come from all disciplines, and are among UMM's finest educators and mentors.
If you are interested in mentoring a McNair Scholar, please provide a short description of your research interests for posting on the McNair webpage. If you are paired with a Scholar for summer research, your involvment will include:
- Working closely with the McNair Scholar to develop the resarch proposal in the semester prior to carrying out the research via the Research Success Seminar.
- Mentoring, monitoring, and supervising the Scholar as he or she carries out the aforementioned project.
- Supporting and encouraging the Scholar as s/he disseminates the results of the research at campus, regional and/or national and international venues.
- Continuing to mentor and advocate for the Scholar as s/he prepares for and applies to grad school.
We are excited to have a McNair program on the Morris campus, and we think it is a natural fit for our campus and students. We look forward to your involvment, ideas, and encouragement!
