University System of Maryland Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Phase II)

1995年11月推出，马里兰大学系统（USM）路易斯·斯托克斯联盟少数民族参与（LSAMP）是一个全面的计划，旨在扩大和增加目前的举措的影响，以大幅增加少数民族和其他学生的数量和质量接收学士学位在科学，数学，工程和技术（SMET）。拟议的USM LSAMP第二阶段将继续和扩展第一阶段开始的活动，预计还将增加少数民族和其他SMET学生获得博士学位并进入SMET职业，特别是教师职位的人数。以下SM机构将作为全面合作伙伴参与拟议的USM LSAMP第二阶段：1)马里兰大学巴尔的摩县（UMBC）， 2)马里兰大学学院公园（UMCP）；3)马里兰大学东岸分校（University of Maryland, Eastern Shore），这是一所历史悠久的黑人大学。UMBC总裁Freeman Hrabowski博士将继续担任拟议的USM LSAMP二期的首席研究员。他在开发创新项目以扩大少数民族SMET学生的教育机会方面的领导地位获得了全国的认可。赫拉博斯基博士因其在科学和数学领域对少数族裔教育的杰出贡献和奉献，获得了1994年美国国家科学基金会颁发的教育成就奖。他的最新著作《战胜困难》（Beating the Odds）关注的是帮助黑人男性取得学术成就的基本原理。第二阶段，马里兰的18所公立社区学院也将参与拟议的USM LSAMP。以下社区学院位于参与USM的机构附近，是少数民族和其他SMET转学生的主要来源：1)安妮阿伦德尔社区学院；2)巴尔的摩城市社区学院；3)卡顿斯维尔巴尔的摩县社区学院；4)切萨皮克社区学院；5)霍华德社区学院；6)蒙哥马利社区学院；7)乔治王子社区学院；8)世界社区学院。在第二阶段，将扩大努力，增加少数族裔和其他SMET学生从剩余的10所社区学院转学到USM LSAMP大学的人数。为了支持NSF的目标，拟议的USM LSAMP第二阶段的主要目标如下。在2000-2001学年结束前，培养约574名少数族裔学生获得SMET学士学位；到2001-2002学年结束时，约有648名少数民族学生获得SMET学士学位；到2002-2003学年结束时，约有722名少数民族SMET学士学位获得者；到2003-2004学年结束时，约有796名少数民族学生获得SMET学士学位；在2004-2005学年结束前，约有887名少数族裔学生获颁SMET学士学位。拟议的第二期SMET计划的次要目标如下：增加少数民族研究生入学人数。增加少数民族学生进入SMET职业，特别是教师职位的人数。基于对当前和以前旨在增加少数民族参与USM大学科学、数学、工程和技术的项目的评估，拟议的USM LSAMP二期设计包括以下特点：各机构领导人对项目的成功和从2006年1月6日起的完全制度化作出坚定承诺；消除少数民族学生的经济障碍；夏季桥组件；学年组成部分；注重提高知识和技能；注重激励和支持；注重监测和建议；注重学术和社会互动；注重“过滤”SMET课程的课程修改以及社区学院的参与。

Launched in November 1995, the University System of Maryland (USM) Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) is a comprehensive program that is designed to extend and increase the impact of current initiatives to increase substantially the quantity and quality of minority and other students receiving baccalaureate degrees in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET). The proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II will continue and expand activities begun in Phase I. It also is expected to increase the number of minority and other SMET students earning doctoral degrees and entering SMET careers, especially faculty positions. The following SM institutions to participate as full partners in the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II: 1) The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), 2) University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP); and 3) The University of Maryland, Eastern Shore (UMES), a historically black institution. Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, III, President of UMBC, will continue as the principal investigator of the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II. He has received national recognition for his leadership in developing innovative programs to expand education opportunities for minority SMET students. Dr. Hrabowski received the National Science Foundation's 1994 Education Achievement Award for his outstanding commitment and dedication in the education for minorities in the fields of science and mathematics, and his latest book, Beating the Odds, focuses on the fundamentals that help Black males achieve academic excellence.Also participating in the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II will be the 18 public community colleges in Maryland. The following community colleges are located in close proximity to the participating USM institutions and serve as the primary feeders of minority and other SMET transfer students: 1) Anne Arundel Community College; 2) Baltimore City Community College; 3) Community College of Baltimore County at Catonsville; 4)Chesapeake Community College; 5)Howard Community College; 6) Montgomery Community College; 7) Prince Georges Community College; and 8)Wor Wic Community College. During Phase II, efforts to increase the number of minority and other SMET students transferring to USM LSAMP universities from the remaining 10 community colleges will be expanded.In support of NSF's goal, the primary goal of the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II is the following.To produce approximately 574 minority SMET baccalaureate recipients by the end of the 2000-2001 academic year; approximately 648 minority SMET baccalaureate recipients by the end of the 2001-2002 school year; approximately 722 minority SMET baccalaureate recipients by the end of the 2002-2003 academic year; approximately 796 minority SMET baccalaureate recipients by the end of the 2003-2004 academic year; and approximately 887 minority SMET baccalaureate recipients by the end of the 2004-2005 academic yearThe secondary goals of the proposed USM LSAMP II are the following.To increase the number of minority students entering SMET graduate programs.To increase the number of minority students entering SMET careers, especially faculty positions.Based in evaluations of current and previous programs aimed at increasing minority participation in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology at the participating USM universities, the proposed USM LSAMP, Phase II's design includes the following characteristics:.Strong commitment by institutional leaders to the program's success and to its complete institutionalization beginning on January 6, 2006;Removal of financial barriers for minority students;A Summer Bridge Component;An Academic Year Component;Focus on improving knowledge and skills;Focus on motivation and support;Focus on monitoring and advising;Focus on academic and social interaction;Focus on "filter" SMET course curricula revision; andInvolvement of feeder community colleges.
