UMES Undergraduate Marine Science Support Program

少数群体在科学领域的代表性不足 尤其是海洋科学。 小 海洋科学的少数民族代表，领导了一个小组， 美国东南部海洋实验室的负责人， 与历史上少数民族学院的同事接触， 大学（HMCU），看看可以做些什么来增加 少数学生对海洋科学事业感兴趣。 本 最后，一个项目将在马里兰州大学启动， 东海岸，一个HMCU，让学生参与海洋科学 在大学生涯的早期。该计划的目的是 提供支持，通过津贴，并培育和扩大 通过课程学习培养学生对海洋科学的兴趣 在学年和全职实验室研究 夏天的经历//

Minorities are inadequately represented in the sciences generally, and in marine science in particular. The small minority representation in marine science, led a group of Directors of Marine Laboratories in the southeastern U.S. to approach their colleagues at Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCUs) to see what could be done to increase minority student interest in marine science careers. To this end, a program will be initiated at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore, an HMCU, to involve students in marine science early in their college career. The intent of the program is to provide support, by way of stipends, and to nurture and expand the student's interest in marine science through course work during the academic year and full time laboratory research experiences during the summer.//
