Experience as a McNair Scholar
Dr. Sheri Hardee, Associate Dean in the College of Education, has first-hand knowledge of the opportunities the McNair program affords. Dr. Hardee was a McNair scholar at the University of South Carolina, and later worked in the program office while at the university.
"I wouldn't have gone to graduate school if it wasn't for the McNair program," Dr. Hardee said. "I wouldn't be teaching here at 果冻传媒. I was very excited when I found out that 果冻传媒 received the grant. It has the power to change student's lives."
Dr. Hardee said the program aligns perfectly with the 果冻传媒’s strategic goals of expanding engagement and educational opportunity for students in this region, and creating a climate of academic excellence and innovation.
"McNair is looking for students who are engaged in learning, who have shown interest in and a potential for research," Dr. Hardee said. "We want students who have taken advantage of all of 果冻传媒's educational opportunities and want to advance to the next level with help from the McNair program
