9612624 Adams Adams现任全国工程与科学少数民族研究生学位协会（GEM）新成立的国家指导研究所所长。在此之前，他曾担任GEM的执行董事。最初是公司和大学关注的结果，旨在增加进入并完成工程硕士学位的少数民族/种族群体的人数，目前GEM开展的项目和活动解决了从大学预科到博士学位的工程、科学和数学领域少数民族代表性不足的问题。亚当斯的成就包括：开发了一个非常成功的项目，帮助大量学生获得了工程学的高等教育学位——与69家雇主和78所大学合作开发了一个项目，每年为600名少数民族研究生提供支持；△成功学生的成果展示：1400名工学硕士毕业生中，83人获得了博士学位，少数人获得了工学博士学位；其他几个组织的项目可复制性，如国家物理科学联盟；出版物形式的项目文档——10部关于指导和相关主题的专著；在指导方面的示范创新——通过建立国家指导研究所扩大了指导工作；获得美国工程学会和全国工程少数民族行动委员会（NACME）服务奖等组织的奖励。

9612624 Adams Adams is currently Director of the new National Institute on Mentoring of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science, Inc. (GEM). Prior to that, he served as Executive Director of GEM. Originally created as an outgrowth of corporate and university concerns to increase the number of underrepresented ethnic/racial groups who enter and complete the engineering master s degree, currently GEM operates programs and conducts activities that address the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in engineering, science, and mathematics from precollege to doctorate levels. Adams accomplishments include: Development of a very successful program that has assisted a significant number of students in obtaining higher education degrees in engineering -- developed a program with 69 employers and 78 universities that supports 600 minority graduate students annually; Demonstration of successful students outcomes -- 1400 master s degree graduates in engineering, 83 of whom obtained doctoral degrees, an exceptionally number of minorities obtaining the Ph.D. in engineering; Program replicability by several other organizations, e.g., the National Physical Science Consortium; Program documentation in the form of publications -- 10 monographs on mentoring and related topics; Demonstrated innovation on mentoring -- has expanded work on mentoring by establishing the National Institute on Mentoring; and Receipt of awards from organizations such as the American Society for Engineering and the national Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) Service Award, among others.
