Proposal #: 0220601PI: Judith L. GerstingInstitution: University of Hawaii at HiloTitle: ALOHA - A Learning Opportunity for High AchieversThis CSEMS program provides support for a cohort of 15 students for 4 years to complete the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Three target population groups have been identified, with the intent to secure, as much as possible, an equitable representation of students from each group: traditional high school graduates, community college transfer students, and students from U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including U.S. territories of American Samoa and Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), and the Republic of Palau (Belau).Students are selected based not only on academic ability and financial need, but also on their understanding of the rigors of the degree requirements. Student support services for the first two years include both academic and social support structures in an attempt to improve retention. These services concentrate on mentoring and providing supplemental instruction. The following two years include an emphasis on skills and opportunities to transition to a high technology workforce, and exposure to career opportunities. The program builds on existing strengths such as the quality of the computer science degree program, a caring faculty, a high sense of identity among computer science majors, and support services and activities designed to broaden the path to graduation for students. Consistent with the program guidelines, academically talented but financially disadvantaged students are identified, challenged, supported, and guided through completion of the degree and on into the workforce.

提案#：0220601PI：Judith L.GerstingInstitution：夏威夷大学希洛蒂尔分校：ALOHA--高年级学生的学习机会这个CSEMS项目为15名学生提供为期4年的支持，以完成计算机科学的理科学士学位。已经确定了三个目标群体，目的是尽可能确保每个群体的学生有公平的代表性：传统高中毕业生、社区大学转学学生和来自美国附属太平洋岛屿的学生，包括美属萨摩亚和关岛、马绍尔群岛共和国、密克罗尼西亚联邦(FSM)、北马里亚纳群岛联邦(CNMI)和帕劳共和国(贝劳)。学生的选择不仅基于学术能力和经济需求，还基于他们对学位要求的严格理解。头两年的学生支持服务包括学术和社会支持结构，以期提高留校率。这些服务集中于指导和提供补充指导。接下来的两年包括强调技能和过渡到高科技劳动力的机会，以及接触职业机会。该计划建立在现有优势的基础上，如计算机科学学位课程的质量、富有爱心的教师队伍、计算机科学专业学生的高度认同感，以及旨在拓宽学生毕业道路的支持服务和活动。与该计划的指导方针一致，学业有天赋但经济困难的学生在完成学位并进入劳动力大军的整个过程中被识别、挑战、支持和指导。
