About me: I was accepted in the McNair Scholar Program in summer 07’; I began my research topic on developing resilience in children with alcoholic parents. My mentor for this project was Dr. David Bruno from the Social Work Program at the University of North Dakota. The research consisted of finding existing literature, reading material, and attending a conference in Lynwood, WA. I met with Dr. Al Siebert, Director of the Resiliency Center, at the Washington conference. Siebert’s book, The Resiliency Advantage, is very helpful in exploring the topic of resilience. I compiled my research to date and presented it on a poster in March 2007. The McNair Program has been a great experience for me; I would recommend the program to others who were interested in higher education.
