Program for Attracting and Retaining Scholars in Computer and Mathematical Sciences

该计划的主要目标是增加来自经济弱势背景的计算机科学和数学毕业生的总数。我们特别感兴趣的是增加来自西北北卡罗来纳州地区的学生攻读计算机科学或数学科学学位的机会。为了实现这一目标，我们正在改善CSEMS学者社区的学生支持基础设施，并与区域高科技产业建立伙伴关系。该计划的学者参加各种活动，并使用旨在实现计划目标的支持服务。社区建设是通过参与新生学习社区，加入学生组织，如ACM和MAA学生分会，以及部门招待会和研讨会。学术上的成功是通过教师导师，实验室导师和广泛的大学支持服务。通过合作教育计划，计算机科学行业咨询委员会和亚利桑那州立大学的职业发展中心，学者们可以利用高科技劳动力的各种就业机会。

The major objective of this program is to increase the overall number of graduates in computer science and mathematics coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We are especially interested in increasing the opportunities for students from the Northwest North Carolina region to pursue a degree in computer science or mathematical sciences. In order to achieve this goal, we are improving the student support infrastructure available for the CSEMS scholars community, and building partnerships with regional high technology industries. Scholars in the program participate in a variety of activities and use support services designed to achieve program goals. Community building is by participation in Freshmen Learning Communities, membership in student organizations like ACM and MAA student chapters, and departmental receptions and seminars. Academic success is bolstered through faculty mentors, lab tutors, and the extensive university support services. Through the Cooperative Education program, the Computer Science Industry Advisory Board, and ASU's Career Development Center, scholars are positioned to take advantage of a variety of employment opportunities in the high technology workforce.
