AMP: Oklahoma State University

俄克拉何马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（OK-LSAMP）由俄克拉何马州的8个合作机构和19个附属机构组成，成立的目的是解决攻读科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）领域学位的少数民族学生严重供不应求的问题。第一阶段由八所合作院校发起，设有多层次的学生支援系统，以改善共享资源在推广活动、教育成就和为SMET领域的深造做准备方面的使用。在短短4年多的时间里，640多名美国原住民、非裔美国人、西班牙裔和太平洋岛民本科生直接通过新生暑期桥、学者和研究实习项目获得了服务。目前，OK-LSAMP项目的毕业目标已经超过了1994年的214个，1997年的454个，1998年的410个。在全国范围内，1997年，俄克拉何马联盟大学招收并获得学士学位的印第安学生人数最多。此外，在俄克拉何马州的学院和大学入学的学生中，印第安人占5.6%，在SMET入学的学生中占9%，获得SMET学士学位的学生占8%。随着OK-LSAMP计划达到成熟，这一进展应继续进入新千年。为了保持教育连续性并进一步发展SMET计划，我们提出了一个强调研究生教育准备的第二阶段计划。总体目标是：扩大范围，吸纳三所新的合作院校，以扩大目标学生的数量；通过学年活动拓展研究经验；（暑期研究实习经验将扩大到包括更多的校外学术和非学术研究地点），通过一系列研讨会和研究生院和项目的指导，增加早期准备活动和随后的研究生课程申请；与两年制附属机构建立暑期转学桥梁项目；并为寻求SMET学科学位的本科生提供明确而具体的与学科相关的教师准备部分。

HRD-9900796MitchellThe Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (OK-LSAMP), comprising eight Partner institutions and 19 Affiliates within the state of Oklahoma, was established to address the critical undersupply of minority students pursing degrees in Science Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (SMET) fields. Phase I, initiated by eight Partner institutions, features a multilayered student support system to improve the use of shared resources for outreach activities, educational achievement and preparation for advanced study in SMET fields. In just over 4 years, more than 640 Native American, African-American, Hispanic and Native Pacific Islander undergraduates students were served directly through Freshman Summer Bridge, Scholars, and Research Internship Programs. The OK-LSAMP is now exceeding project graduation goals from the baseline of 214 in 1994, with 454 degrees earned in 1997 and 410 in 1998. Nationally, in 1997, the highest numbers of Native American students enrolled and receiving baccalaureate degrees were from Oklahoma Alliance universities. Additionally, Native Americans were 5.6% of those enrolled in Oklahoma colleges and universities, were 9% of students enrolled in SMET, and receiving 8% of SMET baccalaureate degrees. As the OK-LSAMP program reaches maturity, this progress should continue into the new millennium. To maintain the educational continuum and to develop the SMET program further, we propose a Phase II program that emphasizes preparation for graduate education.The overall objectives are:to expand by including three new Partner institutions to broaden the pool of available targeted students;to expand the Research experience through academic year activities; (The Summer Research Internship experience will be expanded to include more off-campus academic and non-academic research sites.)to increase early preparation activities and subsequent application to graduate programs through a series of workshops and orientations to graduate schools and programs;to establish Summer Transfer Bridge Program with 2-year Affiliates; andto offer a clear and specific discipline related Teacher Preparation component to undergraduates seeking a degree in a SMET discipline.
