During the event, the scholars had the chance to explore both the UCLA and USC campuses. These tours provided valuable insights into campus life and the resources available to students, especially graduate assistantships and other funding options. While touring UCLA, the scholars discovered historical events associated with the campus and learned that it was briefly the filming location for How I Met Your Mother. Additionally, they engaged with representatives from over 50 graduate institutions to gather information about various programs and summer research and internship opportunities. In summary, our time at UCLA was thoroughly enjoyable! The Scholars participated in numerous breakout and poster sessions, featuring presentations from McNair Scholars from many universities. We thank the UCLA McNair Program staff and scholars for hosting the conference during our intense period of intellectual overload and meaningful connections with professors and scholars from across the country.
