0103732WubahThe goal of the James Madison University (JMU) UMEB is to recruit, mentor and train minority students to become productive scientists through "hands-on" research experiences. The program will be built on existing partnerships with Blue Ridge Community College (BRCC) and Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC). Students recruited from the participating institutions will progress from performing experiments proposed by a JMU faculty mentor to designing their own workable experiments to solve specific environmental problems in the Shenandoah Valley. Students and two community college faculty members will be assigned to a laboratory during the residential summer program. In addition, faculty and participants will take part in seminars presented by scientists, weekly group research meetings, journal clubs, workshops in scientific writing, career development and graduate school admission process and field trips to selected sites. The summer program will end with a research symposium, where students will present their research in oral and poster formats. During the academic year, students in the Harrisonburg area will continue their research and seminars will be held through videoconferencing with NVCC participants. The program will provide a supportive network that will develop skills needed to succeed as environmental scientists.

詹姆斯麦迪逊大学(JMU)UMEB的目标是招募、指导和培训少数族裔学生，让他们通过亲身实践的研究经验成为多产的科学家。该计划将建立在与蓝岭社区学院(BRCC)和北弗吉尼亚社区学院(NVCC)现有合作伙伴关系的基础上。从参与机构招募的学生将从执行JMU教员导师提出的实验到设计自己的可行实验来解决谢南多山谷的特定环境问题。在暑期住宿计划期间，学生和两名社区学院的教职员工将被分配到一个实验室。此外，教师和参与者将参加由科学家举办的研讨会、每周小组研究会议、期刊俱乐部、科学写作、职业发展和研究生院招生过程的研讨会，以及对选定地点的实地考察。暑期项目将以研究研讨会结束，学生们将以口头和海报的形式展示他们的研究。在本学年期间，哈里森堡地区的学生将继续他们的研究，并将通过与NVCC参与者举行视频会议来举办研讨会。该计划将提供一个支持性的网络，以培养成为成功的环境科学家所需的技能。
