增加科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科的大学毕业生数量的需求是一个全国性问题。随着美国人口结构变得越来越多样化，我们认识到有色人种学生在成功完成 STEM 学位的人中所占比例过低，需要采取紧急和持续的干预措施。尽管已经做出了一系列的努力和资金来提高以白人为主或占多数的院校中代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的成功率，但普遍进展缓慢。与此同时，历史悠久的黑人学院和大学以及少数族裔服务机构在 URM 学生毕业（获得 STEM 学位）和继续完成科学研究生水平学位方面取得了不成比例的成功。特定机构在促进不同个人获得学术 STEM 学位方面取得的不同成功表明，通过坚定的战略领导，可以通过评估和减轻阻碍大多数机构成功的环境障碍，在创建促进各类学生在 STEM 领域取得成功的学术社区方面取得进展。在本文中，我们讨论了与 URM 学生在多数环境中参与相关的问题，描述了在促进 STEM 多样性方面已取得成功的一些努力，并强调了与多数机构培养学术 STEM 学科多样性相关的持续问题和因素。建议的努力包括解决与 STEM 中 URM 成功或缺乏相关的学术援助、专业和文化社会化问题以及制度环境因素。
The need to increase the number of college graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines is a national issue. As the demographics of the United States’ population grow increasingly more diverse, the recognition that students of color are disproportionately under-represented among those individuals successful at completing STEM degrees requires exigent and sustained intervention. Although a range of efforts and funding have been committed to increasing the success of under-represented minority (URM) students at primarily white, or majority, institutions, widespread progress has been slow. Simultaneously, Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions have demonstrated disproportionate successes in graduating URM students with STEM degrees and those that proceed to completing graduate-level degrees in the sciences. The differential successes of particular institutions with promoting the achievement of diverse individuals in obtaining academic STEM degrees suggest that with committed and strategic leadership, advancements in creating academic communities that promote the success of a diverse range of students in STEM can be achieved in part through assessing and mitigating environmental barriers that impede success at majority institutions. In this paper, we address issues related to the engagement of URM students in majority settings and describe some efforts that have shown success for promoting diversity in STEM and highlight continuing issues and factors associated with cultivating diversity in academic STEM disciplines at majority institutions. Recommended efforts include addressing academic assistance, professional and cultural socialization issues and institutional environmental factors that are associated with success or lack thereof for URMs in STEM.
