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 July, students will present their research at the 2025 National McNair Conference at UCLA. If you would like the opportunity to see these presentations at Augsburg, please join us on Wednesday, July 23, from 9:00am to 12:30pm in HC 150. This event is open to all students, faculty and staff.

Note: Individual presentations are 10-12 minutes long. There will be time at the end of each group for questions and evaluations. Please arrive at the start of each group block to minimize disruptions during the presentations.
