• W795646768 abstract "Given a certain amount of flexibility, institutions can use programs and partnerships like the IE Consortium as models for expanding the boundaries of the McNair program. ALTHOUGH CREATED WITH THE INTENTION OF AIDING disadvantaged and underrepresented students in achieving academic success, many U.S. federal TRIO program initiatives fall short of their mission. This article will examine the processes and initiatives of the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program (one of the eight TRIO programs) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin), where it is housed in the Office of the Vice President's Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DDCE.) The McNair Scholars Program is designed to serve undergraduate students who identify as first-generation college students and either have high financial need or form part of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate study (U.S. Department of Education 2014.) The program achieves its mission of increasing diversity in graduate education by helping underrepresented students gain the tools and skills necessary to apply and enroll in graduate study, specifically at the doctoral level. The national McNair program is housed in several universities across the United States that allow their respective colleges to tailor programming to meet their students' needs; however, there are several factors that inhibit the potential of students to achieve a well-rounded perspective on graduate school. Four semi-structured interviews with current and past McNair scholars at UT-Austin uncovered three major themes regarding the challenges and areas for improvement through strategic planning for the national--and university-level program: (1) a lack of tailored attention to students, (2) an unrealistic time frame for program completion, and (3) inadequate guidance in developing academic and networking opportunities within a student's discipline. This article describes the challenges that McNair scholars face and provides recommendations for developing a coordinated planning system similar to the one that currently exists in UT-Austin's DDCE, which integrates the university's Intellectual Entrepreneurship Consortium and the McNair program--a collaboration that is beginning to address these challenges, thus offering insights for other universities. PAST EXAMINATION OF TRIO PROGRAMS Federal TRIO programs have been put under the microscope to evaluate their effectiveness in serving students from underprivileged backgrounds (Balz and Esten 1998; Lam et al. 2003; Pitre and Pitre 2009; Swail 2000.) Lam et al. (2003) found that students who were selected as McNair scholars successfully matriculated into the program and received adequate support and academic guidance from their peers and program directors. Studies have demonstrated that students who participate in TRIO programs, including McNair, are given the attention needed to perform successfully in a rigorous academic setting (Swail 2000.) Pitre and Pitre (2009) examined TRIO initiatives at the high school level and found that programs designed to provide specialized academic attention and response to students resulted in increased test scores and reported academic achievement. Yet, this research also showed the challenges in bridging the achievement gap for underrepresented students (Balz and Esten 1998; Swail 2000.) Since these programs cater to hundreds of students, developing more individual approaches that offer students personalized attention (Swail 2000) can be difficult. Furthermore, a general lack of understanding of an underrepresented population's background and little effort in fostering academic relationships can stall a program's mission of academic achievement (Balz and Esten 1998.) It is important to examine both salient perspectives, a student's background juxtaposed with a program's mission, when studying a specific program, like McNair, within an academic achievement context. …" @default.
