Professional Organizations
We encourage all McNair Scholars to join a professional organization. Membership in professional organizations holds several benefits, and many organizations offer special membership rates for students.
Membership in a professional organization provides you with information about current trends and activities within your discipline, conference and publication opportunities, and networking possibilities. Ask your mentor which organizations might be best for you. You may also want to explore some of the following organizations.
