St. Edward’s University McNair Scholar alumni inspire our current scholars.
Our alumni have worked hard to achieve their goals and truly embody the mission of the McNair Scholars Program. Each new cohort of scholars who are inducted into our program will follow in their footsteps.

Dr. Shae Jefferies, '13

Wilson Whitener, '18

Marcela Nicole Kunkel, '17

Brianna Collins, '17
Every year, we invite McNair alumni participate in an alumni panel in which they share their experiences getting to graduate school and navigating their time in masters or doctoral programs. They'll Zoom in or they'll come in person.
We encourage our current scholars to ask any questions they may have regarding the process of applying to graduate school from selecting the right program to building a supportive community once they're on a new campus.
Our alumni who participated this year were Austin Hestdalen ('15, Communication) is a third-year PhD student finishing up his coursework in the Department of Communication & Rhetorical Studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, where his research is focused on issues of digital culture in the ethics, economics, and politics of urban environments as complex problems that inform everyday experience; Michelle Benavidez Westrich ('14, Environmental Science) is a fourth-year Bioanthropology PhD candidate at Indiana University at Bloomington whose current research is investigating the microbial endocrinology of wild howler monkeys at Barro Colorado Island, Panama; and Ana Guadalupe Vielma ('19, Psychology) is a first-year PhD student in Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and her research focuses on the sociocultural factors that influence academic performance and outcomes in minorities.
The topics they covered were varied and important to our scholars whose goals include graduate school: funding, self-care, finances, networking, housing, transportation, health and wellness, mentoring, teaching, research, stress management, income tax, work, and relationships.
We're grateful to our alumni who graciously take time from their busy schedules to support their undergraduate colleagues. The information that our alumni share is invaluable to our scholars as they navigate the application procress.

Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, '11
The McNair Scholars Program holds an annual Recognition Reception where we celebrate the successes of our scholars and give much-deserved recognition to our faculty mentors who work with our scholars throughout the duration of their time in the program.
Every year, we invite a McNair alumnus to be a guest speaker at our reception. They are our success stories. They graciously share insights, experiences, or challenges they experienced while in graduate school, as well as how they persisted to attain their goals.
This past year, our guest speaker was Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, '11. Victoria was featured on the St. Edward's alumni spotlight, "Challenge, Triumph, and Living Her Dream." She earned her Ph.D. in Developmental and Psychological Sciences and Race, Inequality, and Language in Education from Stanford University in 2017.
She is currently a Diversity Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of San Diego, where she investigates "the college readiness process for underrepresented youth in an effort to better understand how schools can best support and prepare their students to persist in college."
