This project is providing a combination intensive mentoring and scholarships to low-income, academically talented students in mathematics and computer science. The objective is to increase retention of students in the Mathematics and Computer Science department and prepare them for industry and government internships that enhance their academic experience. By providing financial support, computer equipment, and extra advising and group study activities, the program is helping students focus on their academic studies and prepare them for future jobs in computing and the mathematical sciences. This program targets the stages at which our students have the highest attrition rate. For our undergraduates, the program is directed at students who have completed the introductory courses in their major. The specific goals for these students are to finish their gateway courses, especially mathematics, computer science, and English, and provide them with the necessary skills to get an internship and to graduate in a timely fashion. For masters level students, the program is focusing on addressing the barriers to pursuit of a graduate degree and the transition from undergraduate to graduate work. To increase the number of well-prepared graduates in CSEM fields, we are undertaking a program with the following goals:o Financial Support: Alleviate the financial problems for students entering their sophomore year or beginning their masters degree.o Mentoring and Group Study: Address personal barriers to continuation with academic support in the form of intensive one-on-one interaction with computer science and mathematics faculty and with group work.o Career Counseling: Increase students' competitiveness through career counseling and workshops.o Internships: Strengthen students experience and job readiness through internships in industry and on campus.o Computer Equipment: Increase access to computers and students' ability to use emerging systems by providing laptop computers.

该项目为数学和计算机科学领域的低收入、学术天才学生提供强化辅导和奖学金。 目的是提高数学和计算机科学系学生的保留率，并为他们为行业和政府实习做好准备，以增强他们的学术经验。 通过提供经济支持、计算机设备以及额外的咨询和小组学习活动，该计划正在帮助学生专注于学术研究，并为他们未来在计算和数学科学领域的工作做好准备。该计划针对的是我们学生流失率最高的阶段。 对于我们的本科生来说，该计划针对的是已完成专业入门课程的学生。这些学生的具体目标是完成入门课程，特别是数学、计算机科学和英语，并为他们提供获得实习和及时毕业所需的技能。 对于硕士水平的学生，该计划的重点是解决攻读研究生学位以及从本科到研究生工作的过渡的障碍。为了增加 CSEM 领域准备充分的毕业生数量，我们正在开展一项具有以下目标的计划： o 财务支持：缓解进入大二或开始攻读硕士学位的学生的财务问题。 o 指导和小组学习：通过与计算机科学和数学教师进行密集的一对一互动以及小组合作的形式提供学术支持，解决个人继续学习的障碍。 o 职业咨询：通过职业咨询提高学生的竞争力 o 实习：通过在工业界和校园实习，增强学生的经验和工作准备。 o 计算机设备：通过提供笔记本电脑，增加计算机的使用和学生使用新兴系统的能力。
