Recently we had students present at MidSURE, which is the Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences at Michigan State University. They had a great time not only presenting their research, but also taking the time to attend the MSU graduate school fair to learn about the different programs MSU had to offer!

🌟 McNair Scholar Spotlight🌟

Meet Maria Rocha, a third-year music education major with a passion for the cello! 🎶. Maria is the president of the Educators of Color Network student organization, and the social media chair for Grand Valley's American String Teachers Association chapter and Disability Student Council.
Maria's commitment to excellence has earned her the honor of representing Grand Valley State University as the student speaker and mentor for the REP4 program. 🌟 She will be traveling to Washington, DC, alongside President Mantella and Vice President for Inclusion and Equity Jesse Bernal, to share her experiences with the US Department of Education, including Secretary of Education Cardona.
We are incredibly proud of Maria's achievements and can't wait to see the impact she will continue to make! 👏

🌟 Scholar Spotlight 🌟

Meet Rachel Robinson!, an inspiring McNair Scholar making waves in Behavioral Neuroscience. Through dedication and passion, Rachel is breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations.

🔬 Research Focus: Rachel’s research project aims to explore the barriers and challenges faced by first-generation college students (FGCS) in accessing and participating in study abroad programs and to understand the perspectives of faculty and staff who support these students.

📚 Awards:
The Gilman Scholarship
The Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) Fellowship

🌍 Beyond the Classroom: Recently, Rachel participated in the Interfaith Photovoice project, using visual storytelling to empower individuals and build community. This transformative experience led to personal growth and a deeper understanding of shared human experiences.

🤝 Future Endeavors: Next, she will join the June Interfaith Convening at Grand Valley State University as a panelist, sharing insights on cultivating interfaith relationships and fostering understanding and unity.

We are incredibly proud of Rachel’s accomplishments and look forward to her continued impact on the academic community and beyond.
