To the incredible Class of 2026, this is YOUR weekend. 🎓✨

The late nights, the doubts, the sacrifices, the growth, the moments no one saw behind the scenes… it all led here. We are so proud of the heart you’ve brought to this journey.

Now go walk across that stage and celebrate everything you’ve become. Congratulations, graduates, the world is waiting for you.

Congratulations to the inaugural cohort of Certified McNair Faculty Mentors at Suffolk University! 🎉👏

This semester, faculty participants completed the brand-new McNair X CTSE Faculty Mentor Development Program, a collaborative initiative between the TRIO McNair Scholars Program and the Center for Teaching & Scholarly Excellence (CTSE) focused on inclusive mentorship, advocacy, belonging, resilience, and supporting first-generation and low-income students through research and graduate school preparation.

Participants who completed the program earned their official McNair Faculty Mentor digital badge, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, and joined a growing community committed to mentorship excellence and student success.

We are so grateful for your dedication to our scholars and cannot wait to continue this initiative in the Fall and Spring semesters!

Our McNair Scholar Soirée was filled with so much love, joy, pride, and gratitude as we celebrated the brilliance, resilience, and heart of our students. To witness their growth, their accomplishments, their confidence, and the community they’ve built together is something I’ll never take for granted.

. It changes lives, opens doors, creates belonging, and reminds students that they are worthy of every dream they dare to chase.

We are so deeply grateful for this community and for every student who trusts us to walk alongside them in their journey. What a privilege it is to do this work. ✨

Congratulations, Class of 2026 🤍

Today our McNair scholars stepped into Massachusetts Institute of Technology ()for a day full of connection, curiosity, and possibility. From an incredible lunch with faculty, staff, and MLK Scholars to a beautiful campus tour and deep dive into graduate opportunities, this is what access looks like.

Where to next??
