Mentors - Announcements
Summer 2009
Dear McNair Mentors,
Please be reminded of several items related to the Summer
Research Institute which began this week. The scholars will be
attending the GRE prep course, graduate school workshops and
work sessions (during which they can work on assignments,
research, etc.) during the hours of 8 and 12 p.m. on Monday -
Thursday's through the month of June. July is more flexible in
that they will be attending GRE review sessions and work
sessions on Tuesday's and Thursday's only. The scholars are
required to be working 20 hours per week (on average) on their
research, 10 hours on GRE prep and 10 hours on grad prep
with the exception of the week of May 18 (orientation week), the
week of May 25 (grad school boot camp) and the week prior to the July 4
weekend (time off). You may access the summer schedule under "scholar
forms/handouts" in addition to viewing
all scholar handouts, assignments, etc. posted
under "current scholars" and the "2009 cohort." FYI.
We hope that in addition to guiding the students in their
research that you are also able to share your input as it
relates to their search for appropriate graduate programs and
preparation for the application process including things like
crafting their personal statements, making contact with
prospective faculty advisors, etc.
Please note the following important dates:
Week of June 22 - I will request a scholar progress report
July 13 - presentation practice session (mentors are always
welcome to attend)
July 17 - draft final paper due
August 7 - final paper due (and draft PowerPoint and poster for
the fall)
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns. We appreciate your time working with the scholars this
summer and look forward to them arriving at some interesting
results in the upcoming months. We were very pleased with the
spring research symposium and the great job the students did on
their research proposals - thank you!
