Baton Rouge - It has been more than 25 years since tragedy struck the United States space program when seven crew members were killed in the space shuttle Challenger explosion January 28, 1986. One of those aboard the Challenger was physicist Ronald Erwin McNair, America's second African-American astronaut.
BATON ROUGE – The U.S. Department of Education has awarded LSU a $1.35 million, five-year grant through the Ronald E. McNair Research Scholars Program, a program that promotes doctoral studies for first-generation college students, students who are from a background of financial need, and students from ethnic groups underrepresented in graduate education.
