This project supports a research conference and competition for undergraduate and masters level graduate students who are conducting research with faculty members from the disciplines of Anthropology, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. In a variety of ways, the conference encourages undergraduate students to enter graduate school and encourage masters level graduate students to continue. First, it helps give them the motivation and opportunity to participate in the kind of research with faculty mentors that they would do in graduate school. Second, it exposes them to other students involved in research, and possibly interested in continuing their education. Third, it brings in outside speakers to discuss the values and rewards associated with the research process, and an invited plenary speaker to further address the topic of minority students in graduate education. Fourth, it makes awards of $500, $250, and $100 for the top three places in the undergraduate and graduate competition. The conference expands on previously smaller conferences that proved successful in getting participating students to apply to graduate school. It recruits student participants from the South Texas region, hoping in particular to attract minority and first-generation college students, and to enhance their motivation and competitiveness in being accepted into graduate programs and in seeking leadership roles in diverse professions.

该项目支持本科生和硕士研究生的研究会议和竞赛，他们与人类学，历史学，政治学，心理学和社会学等学科的教师一起进行研究。会议以多种方式鼓励本科生进入研究生院，并鼓励硕士研究生继续深造。 首先，这有助于给他们动力和机会，让他们参与研究，就像他们在研究生院做的那样。 其次，它使他们接触到其他参与研究的学生，并可能有兴趣继续他们的教育。 第三，它带来了外部发言者讨论与研究过程相关的价值观和奖励，并邀请全体发言者进一步解决研究生教育中的少数民族学生的话题。 第四，它为本科生和研究生竞赛的前三名提供500美元、250美元和100美元的奖励。 这次会议扩大了以前较小的会议，证明成功地让参与学生申请研究生院。 它招募来自南德克萨斯州地区的学生参与者，特别希望吸引少数民族和第一代大学生，并提高他们被研究生课程录取和在不同职业中寻求领导角色的动机和竞争力。
