What did you like best about the UNG McNair program?

What I like the most about the McNair program was the support and guidance from Jules and my Mentor, Dr. Velazquez. I never felt alone during the program, I felt safe e to ask any questions, and most importantly, I felt supported!

What do you wish you knew before you started grad school?

I wished I knew that there are so many programs and funding opportunities, and even if the process seems scary and challenging, there is always someone that can help.
