What does being a UMBC McNair scholar mean to you?:

“Being a McNair scholar to me means that anything is possible. As I’ve said on a number of occasions, I almost did not graduate high school. And to be in a acholars program in active pursuit of a PhD? Is quite literally mind blowing. After seeing the things I’ve seen thus far, being a McNair scholar requires incredible hardwork and determination. Being a McNair scholar requires the active pursuit of one’s dreams and aspirations. And finally, being a McNair Scholar means to go far beyond the reaches of your comfort zone”.
