Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program
Summer 2008 Research Institute

Thank you for assisting the McNair Program's documentation requirements.  Completing this form together at a regularly scheduled meeting during the week has proven the most efficient approach for previous mentors and scholars.  At the end of the summer McNair staff will create from the six Weekly Progress Reports a matrix reflecting the summer's experience.  Each mentor and scholar will receive a draft copy of the matrix to edit/verify its accuracy.  Following the return of draft matrices McNair staff will incorporate any changes, then issue and distribute a final version to mentors and scholars.  

Weekly Progress Report

Kindly complete the Weekly Progress Report below.  Typically the McNair Scholar enters the information on the forms, though in some instance(s) a Mentor may prefer to oversee their submission.  (A paper version of the Weekly Progress Report is also available from the McNair Office.)
