RGPN McNair Alumni Conversation: From Undergraduate Research to Graduate School and Beyond

Join the RGPN McNair Scholars Program for an informal and candid conversation with alumni who have carried their undergraduate research experience into graduate study at the master’s and doctoral levels.

Hosted in partnership with the current Research Methods class, this virtual session invites alumni to reflect on how their early research experiences shaped the way they approached graduate-level scholarship. Panelists will share what prepared them well, what surprised them, and what they wish they had known sooner. The conversation will also explore how to build meaningful mentorship networks, both within graduate programs and beyond them, as scholars move through academic and professional pathways.

This event is ideal for undergraduate scholars considering graduate school, faculty and staff who mentor student researchers, and anyone interested in how research experiences and mentorship open doors to advanced study.

Attendees are welcome to bring questions for the panel. A Zoom link will be shared with registered participants.
