Workshop: Adelante: Focus on Latinas in Math and Science

0339201 坎图 Adelante：在数学，科学和工程项目的重点是拉丁美洲的目的是增加一些拉丁美洲的数学和科学研究生课程的卷，并最终在这些领域的教师人数。拟议的项目将把这些领域的知名妇女与有前途的年轻学者和本科生聚集在一起，进行为期三天的暑期研究。拟议的项目吸收了70名参加者参加将于2003年8月在得克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥校园举行的现有年度“变革中妇女行动社会暑期研究所”。 虽然该研究所是多学科的，MALCS事件一般是由拉丁美洲人在人文和社会科学参加，很少强调或出席拉丁美洲人在数学和科学和工程。2003年组委会愿意赞助第一届年度Adelante！专注于数学和科学与工程。 该计划将包括并行并行会议的研究所，其中九名高级教师都在数学和科学与工程拉丁裔将提供建议，介绍他们目前的研究和职业成就，以及，谈到实现数学和科学与工程研究生学位的过程。 简而言之，他们将作为榜样和导师的30名参与者谁将从南得克萨斯州的高等院校，其学生主要是拉丁美洲人绘制。 该项目的总体目标是增加攻读数学、科学和工程博士学位的拉丁裔人数。 通过针对南德克萨斯州的30名本科和硕士学位水平的拉丁裔学生，该活动将产生对博士课程的兴趣，随后将在未来3年内增加数学，科学和工程研究生课程的申请数量。自MALCS成立以来，年度会议和研究所激发了本科生攻读博士学位。一些学生谁第一次参加了本科生现在作为研究生或助理教授参加。事实上，一些在80年代中期开始参加会议的研究生已经获得了正教授的地位。MALCS 2003委员会希望在数学、科学和工程方面也这样做，并计划与墨西哥裔和美洲土著科学促进协会（SACNAS）的拉丁裔成员合作，使这一目标成为现实。

0339201 Cantu The Adelante: Focus on Latinas in Math, Science and Engineering Project seeks to add a number of Latinas to the rolls of graduate programs in math and science and ultimately to the numbers of faculty in these fields. The proposed project will bring together established women in these areas with promising young scholars and undergraduate students for a 3-day summer institute. The proposed project integrates 70 participants into the existing annual Mujeres Activas en Letras Cambio Social Summer Institute (MALCS-SI), to be held at the University of Texas San Antonio campus in August 2003. Although the Institute is multi-disciplinary, the MALCS event is generally attended by Latinas in the humanities and social sciences, with little emphasis or attendance by Latinas in math and science and engineering. The 2003 organizing committee would like to sponsor the first annual Adelante! Focus on Math and Science and Engineering. The program will consist of parallel concurrent sessions to the Institute where nine senior faculty members all Latinas in Math and Science and Engineering will offer advise, present their current research and career achievements, as well as, speak about the process for achieving a graduate degree in math and science and engineering. In short, they will serve as role-models and mentors to the 30 participants who will be drawn from South Texas institutions of higher learning, whose student body is predominantly Latino. The overall goal of the project is to increase the number of Latinas pursuing doctoral degrees in math and science and engineering. By targeting 30 undergraduate and master degree level Latina students in South Texas, the event will generate an interest in doctoral programs and subsequently will increase the number of applications to graduate programs in math and science and engineering in the next 3 years. Since the MALCS was formed, the annual conferences and institutes have inspired undergraduate students to pursue doctoral degrees. Several students who first attended as undergraduates are now participating as graduate students or as assistant professors. Indeed some who began attending the conference in the mid 80s as graduate students have already achieved full-professor status. The MALCS 2003 committee would like to do the same for math and science and engineering and plans to work with Latina members of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) to make that goal a reality.
