Mentoring Resources
EXTERNAL MENTORS
EXTERNAL MENTORS
External mentors are scholars from outside of the McNair Scholar's home institution who provide informal advice, extend the scholar’s academic reach, and can serve as a source for letters of recommendation. External mentors do not substitute for or interfere with the formal home institution faculty mentoring relationship; they augment it. External mentors are expected to meet with their scholars, and jointly with their faculty mentors when possible, at least three times during the McNair internship, to discuss milestones such as project selection, interim status, and steps after project completion.

Mike Barnett, Professor of Management & Global Business at Rutgers Business School, is an early McNair Scholar, completing the program in 1991 at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Why he didn't think of it sooner, well no one knows, but in Fall 2020, he realized that there were surprisingly few senior business scholars from the McNair Program and saw the need to create this network. He is fortunate to be joined by Ishva Minefee, who completed the McNair Program in 2009 at the University of Illinois and is now an Assistant Professor there. We're here to help in any way we can!
