Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program
The Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, also known as the McNair Scholars Program, is one of the Federal TRiO Programs.
The Federal TRiO Programs are educational opportunity outreach programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
TRiO includes six outreach and support programs targeted to serve and assist low-income, first-generation college students and students with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
We are proud to announce that Ms. Griselda Rodriguez has obtained her PhD!
Dr. Rodriguez graduated from Binghamton University in 2003 with a B.S. in Human Development. As a McNair Scholar, she participated in the McNair Scholars Summer Research Program under the mentorship of Ms. Mary Raymondi Daly, formerly of Human Development, and presented her research at the Annual McNair Scholars Research Conference. Ms. Rodriguez went on to earn a M.S. in The Cultural Foundations of Education, Syracuse University (2005) and a M.A. in Sociology, Syracuse University (2006). She successfully defended the dissertation last Wednesday as doctoral student of Sociology at Syracuse University. She passed with distinctions in Women and Gender Studies.
We offer our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Griselda Rodriguez!
