Come listen to our amazing McNair Scholars present their summer research. Topics range from analyzing the portrayal of African religions in contemporary research articles to the health of soil in relation to Palouse Prairie restoration. This is a great chance for anyone thinking about graduate school to ask McNair Scholars what it’s like to be a McNair Scholar and how it’s helping them prepare and apply to graduate programs.
