McNair Research at Trinity

  • McNair Mentor Faculty/Research Projects

    At the heart of the McNair Scholars Program is a paid, ten week summer research experience that allows McNair Scholars to conduct one-on-one research with a faculty mentor. The following is a list of Trinity University faculty members who have agreed to serve as research mentors within the McNair Scholars Program and the titles of their ongoing research projects.

    If you are a faculty member and wish to add, delete, or modify a research project title, please contact the Program Assistant Director or the Program Director.
