HRD-9701775 Arenaz The University of Texas System Alliance for Minority Participation (UT-System AMP) brings together all nine academic components of The University of Texas System and ten regional community college partners in an effort to increase the number of under-represented minority students and students from other underserved populations enrolling in and graduating from baccalaureate programs in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology and entering graduate programs in SMET fields of UT-System universities. The activities of the UT-System AMP are supported by partnerships with industry and government agencies, particularly national laboratories. The educational institutions in the Alliance serve a rapidly growing region, where by the decade's end minorities will comprise a majority of population. Prominent among the institutions are those in the U.S.-Mexico Border regions serving large numbers of Hispanic students and those in metropolitan areas serving mainly commuter students, including many minorities. The UT-System places a high degree of importance, system-wide, on improving retention among undergraduates and proving enhanced opportunities for these undergraduates to enter graduate programs in SMET. This proposal also emphasize the system-wide sharing of resources to attain these goals. In Phase II, the University of Texas System Alliance for Minority Participation is committed to achieving the following objectives: 1) The UT-System AMP universities will graduate a minimum of 1,500 under-represented minority and other underserved students with B.S. degrees in SMET by 2002, an increase of 70% over 1995-1996 baseline and 2) the UT- System AMP universities will enroll a minimum of 600 under-represented minority and other underserved student in the SMET graduate programs by the fall of 2002, an increase of about 40% over the fall 1995 baseline. AMP program activities will focus on three major areas: (1) retention of students who are SMET majors through the development of strategies of all partner institutions to address retention of second year students in SMET; (2) mentoring and career development opportunities for SMET majors interested in pursuing an advanced degree. Activities include the development of a joint graduate school application for UT-System institutions, GRE workshops and career development/mentoring activities at each partner institution; and (3) stipend support, mentoring and training for students participating in research and summer bridge activities. The UT-System AMP is permanently changing the nature of SMET higher education in Texas. Through the UT-System AMP, the participating universities have raised the visibility and increased the awareness of the chancellor, presidents and chief academic officers about SMET program outcomes and the status of under-represented minority students. Providing leadership to the UT-System Alliance for Minority Participation will be a Governing Board, chaired by James Duncan, Executive Vice Chancellor of The University of Texas System which includes presidents, vice-presidents or provosts of UT-System member institutions and participating community colleges as well as a selected number of experts from industry and the national R&D community. Meeting annually, the Governing Board will continue to provide general oversight of the UT-System AMP. The Academic Leadership Council (ALC), composed of deans, chairs and distinguished faculty are involved in the implementation of AMP activities at their institution. The ALC meets twice yearly.

HRD-9701775 德克萨斯大学少数民族参与系统联盟（UT-System AMP）汇集了德克萨斯大学系统和十个区域社区学院合作伙伴的所有九个学术组成部分，努力增加代表性不足的少数民族学生和来自其他服务不足人口的学生的数量，这些学生注册并毕业于科学，数学，工程，和技术，并进入UT系统大学的SMET领域的研究生课程。 UT系统AMP的活动得到了与行业和政府机构，特别是国家实验室的合作伙伴关系的支持。 联盟的教育机构为一个迅速增长的区域服务，到本十年结束时，少数民族将占人口的大多数。 在这些机构中，最突出的是美国的机构-墨西哥边境地区为大量西班牙裔学生提供服务，大都市地区主要为通勤学生提供服务，包括许多少数民族。 UT系统高度重视，全系统范围内，提高本科生的保留率，并为这些本科生提供更多的机会进入SMET的研究生课程。 这项建议还强调全系统共享资源以实现这些目标。 在第二阶段，德克萨斯大学少数民族参与系统联盟致力于实现以下目标：1）UT系统AMP大学将毕业于至少1，500名代表性不足的少数民族和其他服务不足的学生。2）UT系统AMP大学将在2002年秋季之前招收至少600名代表性不足的少数民族和其他服务不足的学生参加SMET研究生课程，比1995年秋季基线增加约40%。 AMP计划的活动将集中在三个主要领域：（1）保留学生， （2）为有意攻读高级学位的中小企业和技术教育专业学生提供辅导和职业发展机会。 活动包括为UT系统各院校联合编制研究生院申请表，在每个伙伴院校举办GRE讲习班和职业发展/辅导活动;（3）为参加研究和夏桥活动的学生提供津贴支助、辅导和培训。 UT系统AMP正在永久改变德克萨斯州SMET高等教育的性质。 通过UT系统AMP，参与的大学提高了知名度，并提高了校长，校长和首席学术官员对SMET方案成果和代表性不足的少数民族学生地位的认识。 提供领导的UT系统少数民族参与联盟将是一个理事会，由詹姆斯邓肯，得克萨斯州系统的大学，其中包括校长，副校长或UT系统成员机构和参与社区学院教务长，以及从行业和国家研发社区的专家选定的数量的执行副校长主持。 每年召开一次会议，理事会将继续对UT系统AMP进行全面监督。 学术领导理事会（ALC），由院长，主席和杰出的教师组成，参与在他们的机构实施AMP活动。 ALC每年举行两次会议。
