Jarvis Christian College, ``the college with the personal touch and where dreams come true,'' proposes an aggressive and comprehensive model Historically Black College and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), engaging a community of academic partners working together to significantly increase minority participation and access to science careers. The Program goal is to develop, implement, evaluate and institutionalize a program that will achieve and sustain a high quality and competitive science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) education program. The comprehensive program proposed for Jarvis emphasizes the following four elements: Pre-College Outreach Programs; Undergraduate Student Scholars; Faculty Development Opportunities; and Curriculum, Equipment and Laboratory Development. The specific objectives are: (1) to implement a summer enhancement and skills development summer workshop for rising high school students who have demonstrated an interest and aptitude in the science areas that will ensure that 80% of the participants will complete the twelfth grade and enroll in college as a SMET major; (2) to implement a summer ``bridge'' program for students entering Jarvis in the Fall that will impact 90% success rate during the first year; (3) to develop an implement a Scholars program customized to achieve 90% undergraduate retention and graduation rates and result in at least 70% enrollment in graduate or professional SMET programs; (4)to develop and implement a comprehensive faculty development program, develop new curricular offerings and expand existing courses for improvement and (5) to increase diversity and the number of SMET majors by 20% annually. All proposed activities support the mission of the National Science Foundation, ``to provide access to quality science education for all students'', and the mission of Jarvis Christian College, ``to provide a quality education to increase the competitiveness of its students in post-baccalaureate efforts.'' The extensive evaluation process and the involvement of the total college community and the community partners will insure its success. This proposed Jarvis Program represents the model for ``Creating Windows of Opportunity for Success in the SMET areas.''
