The Ronald E. McNair 38th Annual Celebration and 14th Research Symposium will be held Jan. 27-29, 2024, at North Carolina A&T State University. The research symposium allows undergraduate and graduate students from around the country to present research in oral and poster exhibitions. The commemorative weekend will also include a graduate fair, graduate school panel discussion, a special McNair historical exhibit, showcasing highlights of Dr. McNair as an undergraduate student here on the campus of NC A&T SU as well as the McNair Art Challenge by the local McNair Elementary School students. The annual luncheon on Monday will feature a guest speaker, highlighting current student's STEM projects, including those studying in the same undergraduate Physics department as Dr. McNair and more.
