    Emilia Sola Gracia

    The McNair program helped me become the educator I am today. When I was struggling, this program was there to help me develop my foundations and goals. They helped me develop the skills necessary to be successful in graduate school and find my confidence. I was able to develop better time management skills and better explore my research interests.

    Thanks to this program I gained the confidence to apply to an on-campus lab to help feed naked mole rates, an experience I will never forget. My McNair program also became my safety net, by helping me with my grad school applications and encouragement to help me apply to the GRFP. My McNair mentors also became my cheerleaders and helped me celebrate my victories, I am forever grateful.
