FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Students in the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement program at Marian University presented on Saturday, November 6 at Lake Lawn Resort in Delevan, Wisconsin. Six of the students presented posters about their research findings, and two gave oral presentations.
The National McNair Research Conference is designed to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to explore graduate study as an obtainable option. Workshops, panel discussions and activities introduce McNair scholars to the nature of graduate study as well as provide helpful tips and suggestions in writing an effective graduate admissions application.
The following students presented their research:
Phyllis Becker, a social work major from Beaver Dam, presented “An Analysis of Male and Females Homeless Veterans in Wisconsin.”
Nancy Garcia, a criminal justice major from Wautoma, presented her research on “Reforming Immigration: Substantiating the need for the DREAM Act.”
Sandra Gierach, a nursing major from Fond du Lac, presented her research on “Phenomenological Exploration of Perceived Health and Access to Health Services within the Hispanic Population.”
Amanda Pankratz, a music education major from Horicon, orally presented her research on “Verbal Communication in Music Theory.”
Patricia Rodenkirch, a psychology major from Fond du Lac, presented on “A Qualitative Analysis of Gender Perception related to Bereavement.”
Theresa Sokup, a psychology major from Weyauwega, presented on “Factors Affecting the Disclosure of Sexual Abuse in Fond du Lac County – Weyauwega.”
Annette VanStraten, a music education major from Shiocton, presented her research on “Factors Affecting Freshman participation in Music Ensembles at Marian University.”
Bee Yang, an elementary education major from Sheboygan, presented on the “Dynamics of Effective Teaching of Hmong Students.”
This conference was coordinated by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) in collaboration with the Mid-America Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel (MAEOPP). The conference builds on the respected legacy that the Office of Minority Student Affairs at the University of Illinois had developed in 1993.
