McNair Faculty

Faculty are welcome to serve as mentors for McNair Fellows. Fellows planning their research will make contact with several faculty. Knox faculty who would like more information are encouraged to contact McNair Program Staff. The Program also welcomes faculty to recommend students for admission into the Program. If you are currently a Research Mentor, please see the bottom of this page for links to evaluation and agreements forms.
