Our own Gabriel (Lu) Diaz is a new Fellow in the 2016 Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program (mcnairscholars.com), BIG congratulations!!! The McNair Scholars Program is a federal TRIO program funded at 151 institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico by the U.S. Department of Education. It is designed to prepare undergraduate students for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education and have demonstrated strong academic potential. The goal of the McNair Scholars Program is to increase graduate degree awards for students from underrepresented segments of society. The induction ceremony will take place next Tuesday, March 29th at 6pm, in the MMC Campus at FIU.
