Eastern’s TRIO McNair Program 2020-2021 Overview<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n

\n\n

Congratulations and thank you to all the EWU McNair scholars, faculty mentors, staff and other supporters who continued to work hard together throughout the challenges of 2020-2021. Our EWU scholars benefited from faculty-mentored research experiences, scholarly activities including workshops, seminars, and academic conferences, and presented their experiences and research in virtual spaces. Remote learning technologies allowed us to once again meet or exceed our goals to provide research and scholarly activities, have one third of new scholars in STEM, strong enrollment in first year of graduate school, and a majority of students persisting into the second year of graduate school as outlined in the Eastern McNair grant proposal. We submitted our Annual Performance Report (APR) to the Department of Education in December 2021 (highlights below), which shows that EWU McNair continues its ongoing success. This is accomplished through a carefully designed Plan of Operation informed by research, best practices, and years of successfully preparing first-generation, low-income and\/or underrepresented scholars to succeed in doctoral programs. And we try to make it fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this page, you will see numbers that quantify our program’s success, but more importantly, you will have a chance to celebrate our scholars and their remarkable accomplishments over the last year. We’re still thriving through challenging times, and we have so much to celebrate!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
