Abstract
The McNair Scholars Program (Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program) was created in 1986 as a part of the federal TRIO programs. The McNair Scholars Program at Iowa State University fosters scholastic academic research for its scholars under the guidance of faculty members. The scholars construct projects that include literature reviews, methodologies, data analyses, and recommended actions for future research. Today three scholars will present their research that examines social, racial, and ethnic concerns. Participants of this session will have an opportunity to hear research that the scholars will possibly continue in their graduate studies and beyond.
