Gaylord College students J.D. Baker, public relations junior, and Pam Ortega, journalism junior, were named McNair Scholars this spring.
McNair Scholars are outstanding undergraduate students committed attend graduate school and work 
toward a doctorate, but come from communities traditionally underrepresented in the academy. The students receive additional mentorship, academic support, and networking opportunities with like-minded students and academics as part of being in the program.
Baker and Ortega are also Gaylord Ambassadors.
