[00:00:01.838]
(upbeat music)
[00:00:13.200]
There's so many different choices
[00:00:14.610]
that we're faced with as an undergrad
[00:00:16.860]
and especially a first generation undergraduate student.
[00:00:20.270]
McNair means to me,
[00:00:21.840]
opportunities and scientific discovery within a community
[00:00:25.830]
that I wouldn't necessarily have the access to
[00:00:28.360]
or the opportunity to be a part of.
[00:00:30.120]
I definitely do feel that the McNair Program
[00:00:32.270]
has helped me a ton in preparing for graduate school.
[00:00:35.980]
McNair has supported my goals
[00:00:37.510]
by giving me all the knowledge
[00:00:39.730]
that I need to advance myself in the world of education.
[00:00:44.150]
The most important thing that I learned
[00:00:46.320]
from working with Dr. Harris
[00:00:47.860]
and from managing my own research project
[00:00:49.540]
within the McNair Program
[00:00:50.680]
is the idea of having a support system that can be with you
[00:00:54.900]
in and outside of the classroom as well.
[00:00:56.540]
To me, McNair is all about community
[00:00:58.620]
and helping you again as an individual,
[00:01:01.460]
achieving your goals.
[00:01:04.000]
I remember when I was a freshman,
[00:01:05.540]
I definitely didn't have the confidence
[00:01:07.070]
to really get into graduate school or do research,
[00:01:09.850]
but it's definitely possible for anyone who wants to join.
[00:01:12.950]
The part that's most beneficial with working
[00:01:15.130]
with a faculty mentor is you have a real expert
[00:01:17.930]
in your field and any question that you need answered
[00:01:20.750]
is going to be answered with honesty
[00:01:22.960]
and lots of experience behind it.
[00:01:25.230]
You get to ask questions about what it is
[00:01:27.770]
to live the life of an engineer or a professor.
[00:01:32.920]
McNair is one of, I would say probably
[00:01:35.210]
the most impactful part of my college experience
[00:01:37.470]
because it aids specifically in my intellectual development
[00:01:40.470]
with a bunch of other young scientific learners.
[00:01:43.150]
I can look at McNair and say that this is the reason
[00:01:46.160]
why I want to pursue what I wanna pursue
[00:01:48.210]
and have the confidence to pursue it as well.
[00:01:51.286]
