AMP: Alliance for Minority Participation Project

帕德莫尔佛罗里达农工大学与奥尔巴尼州立学院、白求恩-库克曼学院、克拉克-亚特兰大大学、佛罗里达州立大学、佛罗里达国际大学、佛罗里达大学、南佛罗里达大学、中佛罗里达大学、迈阿密大学和佛罗里达纪念学院以及三所附属社区学院(杰克逊维尔佛罗里达社区学院、迈阿密-戴德和塔拉哈西)制定了一个计划，旨在影响更多代表性不足的学生选择科学、工程和数学领域的职业。联盟将着重集中力量，直接增加在参与机构就读本科经济管理学位课程的黑人、西班牙裔和印第安人的招聘、留用、毕业和研究生院安置。间接地，项目的增强因素将影响学生在所有联盟成员机构的坚持。该联盟的影响力将从大一前的水平跨越到SEM研究生课程的学者入学。参与者将从生物、化学、数学、物理和所有工程学科中挑选。FGAMP项目是联合参与第一阶段的各机构的主要力量。这些机构的知名度提高了。学生在各自领域的成绩有显著提高。佛罗里达州立法机关为支持佛罗里达州各机构提供了大量支持。FGAMP第二阶段的运作将以第一阶段的成功为基础，并将包括社区学院的更多参与。预计FGAMP的机构和行业合作伙伴将通过暑期实习继续支持该项目。这个项目的成功将与其他国家和地区机构分享。

HRD-9703197 Padmore Florida A&M University in collaboration with Albany State College, Bethune-Cookman College, Clark-Atlanta University, Florida State University, Florida International University, the University of Florida, the University of South Florida, the University of Central Florida, the University of Miami and Florida Memorial College and three affiliated community colleges (Florida Community College at Jacksonville, Miami-Dade and Tallahassee) has formulated a program designed to influence more underrepresented students to select carers in science, engineering and mathematics. The Alliance will emphasize a focused effort to increase directly the recruitment, retention, graduation and graduate school placement of Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans who are enrolled in the undergraduate SEM degree programs at the participation institutions. Indirectly, enhancement elements of the project will influence the persistence of students at all Alliance member institutions. The Alliance's influence will span from the pre- freshman level to the enrollment of scholars in SEM graduate programs. Participants will be selected from biology, chemistry, mathematics, physic and all engineering disciplines. The FGAMP Project has been a major coalescing force at the institutions involved in Phase I of the venture. Visibility has increased for the institutions. Student performance in their respective areas has improved significantly. A significant level of support has been received from the Florida Legislature for support of the Florida institutions. Phase Ii of the FGAMP operation will build on the successes of Phase I and will include greater involvement of community colleges. FGAMP institutional and industry partners are expected to continue their support of the project through summer internships. The success of this project will be shared with other state and regional institutions.
