McNair graduate receive their diplomas

Once a McNair Scholar, Always a McNair Scholar

We are very proud of our alumni Scholars and are continuously amazed at their achievements. As a graduate of NEIU, we understand that the possibilities before you are numerous, rewarding and challenging. Like you, Dr. Ronald E. McNair met challenges in his life with intelligence, perseverance, and a commitment to personal and academic excellence. We encourage you to keep pursuing graduate studies that culminate in a doctorate degree (Ph.D.) in your area of interest. To this end, and whenever possible, we are available for support and assistance.
