 On Thursday, July 22 and Friday, July 23, the McNair Scholars Program hosted its McNair Scholars Colloquium in Dean Eaton Formal Lounge. The twelve McNair Scholars who had spent eight weeks engaged in mentored research had an opportunity to present the fruits of their academic labor.

Each of the two afternoons the Colloquium opened with a poster presentation which required scholars to present their research to guests in small groups. Photos and graphs provided visual explanations related to the research and highlights and bibliographic information were available on the posters also. McNair Scholars were trained in poster preparation by Dr. Joseph Erlichman.

Following the poster presentations each scholar gave an oral presentation of up to 20 minutes with questions and answers included. Many used power point presentations coached on how to make them most meaningful by Dr. Christopher Watts. A session in oral presentation skills by Dr. Kirk Fuoss provided scholars with assistance in their presentation skills.

Attending the presentations were faculty and staff as well as peers who were on campus for various summer programs. Overall response to the event was very positive, and a video tape of the entire set of presentations is available for loan from the McNair/CSTEP Office—with special thanks to Dr. Rebecca Daniels for assisting in making the tape available.
