AMP: Heartland's Alliance for Minority Participation

9550704桑普森中心的少数民族参与联盟(AMP)计划是由11所中西部大学和学院共同努力的，其目的是大幅提高获得科学、工程和数学学士学位的少数民族学生的质量和数量，并随后增加攻读研究生学位的少数民族学生的数量。该联盟有两个主要目标：在未来10年内，将参与机构中获得扫描电子显微镜学士学位的少数族裔人数增加15%，并将参与机构中获得扫描电子显微镜专业博士学位的少数族裔人数增加50%。大学前推广计划将强调中小学科学和数学教育的重要性，并鼓励高能力的少数民族学生攻读SEM学位。大专/本科生过渡方案将帮助少数民族学生从高中和社区大学过渡到四年制院校。这一级别包括准备研讨会、辅导、支持团队、暑期研究机会和相关的充实活动，旨在确保这些学生的成功。毕业生过渡学习计划将根据个人需求量身定做，并包括一名专门的导师和在毕业后一年提供的经济支持。在顺利完成学士学位后一年，学生将获得奖学金，以支持他们的常规研究生学习。研究生招聘会将为参与的研究型大学的SEM项目提供额外的少数族裔招聘。

9550704 Sampson The Heartland's Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) program is a collaborative effort of eleven midwestern universities and colleges whose purpose is to substantially increase the quality and quantity of minority students receiving baccalaureate degrees in science, engineering and mathematics (SEM), and subsequently, to increase the number of minority students pursuing graduate degrees. There are two major objectives of the Alliance: to increase by 15 percent the number of minorities SEM baccalaureate degree recipients in participating institutions and to increase by 50 percent the number of minorities at participating institutions who earn doctorates in SEM disciplines in the next 10 years. The Pre-college Outreach Program will emphasize the importance of science and mathematics education in elementary and secondary public schools and encourage high-ability minority students to pursue SEM degrees. The Post-secondary/Undergraduate transition Program will assist SEM minority students in the transitions from high schools and community colleges to four-year institutions. This tier features readiness seminars, tutorial assistance, support teams, summer research opportunities and related enrichment activities, designed to ensure the success of these students. The Graduates Transition Program of study will be tailored to individual needs, and include a dedicated mentor and financial support during the post-baccalaureate year. After successful completion of the post-baccalaureate year, students will be awarded fellowships to support their regular graduate study. A graduate fair will provide for additional minority recruitment to the SEM programs of the participating research universities.
