9320290库克这项更新建议是为了加强和扩大少数族裔学生与水生科学职业之间的联系。它是围绕三点计划建立的：1.继续支持最初的参与者群体，帮助他们成长为活跃的水生科学家，并将他们带入美国湖泊和海洋学协会(ASLO)的更高水平；2.引入新的参与者，强调西班牙裔、印第安人、太平洋岛民以及非裔美国人的代表性；3.发展一系列以夏季ASLO年度会议为中心的创新联系活动。ASLO一直是该计划的主要参与者，为该计划支持的学生和教职员工提供免费会员资格。

9320290 CUKER This renewal proposal is to strengthen and expand the linkages between minority students and careers in the aquatic sciences. It is built around a three point program: 1. Continuing support for the initial group of participants, helping them to mature into active aquatic scientists, and bringing them to higher levels of participation in the American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO); 2. Bringing in new participants, emphasizing a representation of Hispanic, Native American, and Pacific Islanders, as well as African Americans; 3. Developing a series of innovative linkage activities centered around annual summer ASLO meetings. ASLO has been a major participant in this program by providing free memberships for the students and faculties supported by this program.
