RESEARCH PROGRAMS GIVE<br />
UNDERGRADS A BOOST FOR<br />
THE FUTURE BY ANDREW TELLIJOHN<br />
PHOTOS BY DAWN VILLELLA<br />
Undergraduate Chao Yang always<br />
wanted to attend graduate school,<br />
but she had little knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />
what that might entail. Her parents<br />
never attended college, and she had no<br />
experience doing intensive research.<br />
Then a friend introduced her to the<br />
Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate<br />
Achievement Program, which prepares<br />
low-income, first-generation college<br />
students for doctoral studies. Through<br />
McNair, Yang spent this summer<br />
researching alongside Ken Bartlett,<br />
associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor and chair <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Work and <strong>Human</strong><br />
Resource <strong>Education</strong>.<br />
