One component of the TRIO McNair Scholars Program is a 10-week summer research project. Each year students work with a faculty mentor on a specific topic, culminating in a final paper and presentation. At the end of the month, students will present their research at the 2023 National McNair Conference at UCLA. If you would like the opportunity to see these presentations at Augsburg, please join us on Monday, July 24, from 9:00am to 12:30pm in Science 123. This event is open to all students, faculty and staff. See below for a full list of presenters.
