1990 年，湖沼学和海洋学科学协会 (ASLO) 实施了 ASLO 多元文化计划 (ASLOMP)，以招募和留住水生科学领域代表性不足的学生。 ASLOMP 利用 ASLO 的年度会议支持 65 至 80 名学生参加多方面的计划，其中包括实地考察、特殊学生研讨会以及帮助学生引导会议并与 ASLO 社区互动的会议导师系统。在最初的 25 年里，有来自 215 所不同学院和大学的 890 名学生参加。参与者多种多样：70% 本科生、67% 女性、50% 非裔美国人、35% 西班牙裔、7% 美洲原住民、6% 太平洋岛民、1% 白人。几乎所有参与者都获得了学士学位，59% 的参与者获得了研究生学位。大约一半 (49%) 的工作至少涉及到一些水生科学，24% 的人在其他 STEM 领域找到了工作。两名参与者赢得了 ASLO 领导职位的选举。该计划为其他科学协会提供了经过测试的模型。
In 1990, The Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) implemented the ASLO Multicultural Program (ASLOMP) to recruit and retain underrepresented students in the aquatic sciences. ASLOMP uses ASLO's annual meetings to support 65 to 80 students to participate in a multifaceted program that includes field trips, special student-symposium, and a system of meeting-mentors to help students navigate the conference and engage with ASLO's community. During the first 25 years, 890 students from 215 different colleges and universities participated. Participants were diverse: 70% undergraduates, 67% female, 50% African American, 35% Hispanic, 7% Native American, 6% Pacific Islanders, 1% white. Almost all participants earned a BS and 59% earned graduate degrees. About half (49%) held jobs that used at least some aquatic science and 24% found employment in other STEM fields. Two participants won election to ASLO leadership positions. The program provides a tested model for other scientific societies.
