I was delighted to receive the good news that our McNair Scholars program has won the Ann Lydecker Educational Diversity Award from the State Council on Affirmative Action and the Office of State Employment Relations. This is a well-deserved honor for a rock-solid program aimed at first-generation and multicultural students to prepare them for doctoral study and eventual careers as college professors. Since its inception in 1992, the program has had an undergraduate degree completion rate of 99 percent. More than 75 percent of our McNair alumni have enrolled in graduate schools. Six have earned Ph.D.’s, 14 are Ph.D. candidates, 53 have earned master’s degrees and 28 are master’s degree candidates. Richard McGregory directs the program.
Well done!
