Morris updates (November 2017)

UMM receives Department of Education grant
Morris has earned a $1.2 million Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement (McNair) Program grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant will fully fund (through September 30, 2022) the McNair project, which will prepare cohorts of low-income, first-generation students and students from groups underrepresented in graduate education for doctoral study.

It will build on Morris’s culture of support for student engagement, academic excellence, and scholarly activity, providing McNair Scholars with a cohesive series of activities designed to prepare them for successful admission to and completion of doctoral programs, particularly in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.
