Activity: McNair/SSS Graduate School Retreat, Chula Vista Resort, Wisconsin Dells, WI
Academic Rationale for Absence: The McNair/SSS Graduate School Retreat is an opportunity for first generation, low income and underrepresented students in higher education to learn more about the Graduate School admissions process. Don Asher, a nationally recognized graduate school speaker, will lead the retreat. He will offer students the opportunity to learn about graduate school essays, the admissions process, and procuring funding such as fellowships and assistantships for graduate and PhD programs. The retreat offers underrepresented students workshops on challenges facing underrepresented students, discovering top programs in your field of study, how to plan for the GRE, and how to represent difficulties (low grades, low GRE scores and others) in the best light. Participants will learn how to write an outstanding statement of purpose and how to complete applications effectively.
