The McNair Scholars Program at Michigan Tech prepares eligible undergraduate students for PhD programs by promoting student success through undergraduate research, faculty mentorship, and a series of skill building workshops. The McNair Program ultimately aims to increase diversity among faculty at higher education institutions across the country.
The staff of the McNair Scholars program, along with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, hosted the Inaugural McNair Scholars Graduation recognition dinner on Friday, April 19, 2024, for this year’s graduating seniors. This first cohort of Michigan Tech’s McNair Scholars were recognized for their commitment to research along with dedication to scholarly activities and achievements.
The McNair Scholars Program is thrilled to announce the publication of groundbreaking research by current student scholars May Waters and Sophia Jaeger. Their work, recently published in the journal Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, marks a significant advancement in the field of biosensing technology.
Waters and Jaeger, both fourth-year chemistry majors and research assistants in Haiying Liu’s lab, have made a remarkable contribution to the understanding of NAD(P)H. Crucially, NAD(P)H fuels many of our cellular processes such as the production of energy.
