In 1992 the Ronald E. McNair program was funded. The program is
made up of a consortium of five universities: University of Notre
Dame, Xavier University, Clark Atlanta, St. Mary's and St. Edwards
University in Texas. Since its inception the program has served
over 500 college students in promoting graduate school for minorities.
The services provided by the McNair program are trips to graduate
schools, academic counseling, course tutoring, professional conferences,
preparation for GRE exams, advice and assistance with the graduate
selection and application process and partial funding for graduate
school interviews. During the summer component, undergraduate
students from the five universities are selected to do research
with professors here at the Notre Dame in areas of interest and
receive three credit hours. The core mission of the McNair Program
is to promote graduate and doctoral studies for minority students.
