Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

俄克拉荷马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族科学、技术、工程和数学联盟(OK-LSAMP)由三所综合性研究机构(俄克拉荷马州立大学、俄克拉荷马大学和塔尔萨大学)、六所地区性大学(东部中央大学、东北州立大学、中央俄克拉荷马大学、西北州立大学、东南州立大学、西南州立大学和卡梅伦大学)和1890年土地拨款机构(兰斯顿大学)组成。俄克拉何马州立大学是牵头机构；然而，这些计划将通过四个合作校区的研究生院进行协调。OK-LSAMP计划建议大幅增加目标学生的数量，最好是在未来五年内获得博士学位。目标是至少有10%的可用学士学位毕业生入学并随后毕业。我们希望通过以下目标来实现这一目标：*通过两个完整的夏季研究和两个学年的研究活动，在最后两个本科年度形成强大的研究经验。*全面参与计划中概述的研究生院准备部分*在代表不足的群体文化和环境中制度化研究生教育文化。这些是联盟广泛实施的具体目标。个别合作伙伴有权根据每个校园的项目结构和组织来实施这些目标。例如，其中两个校区有一个麦克奈尔计划，它们将与麦克奈尔计划协同工作。具体的计划和活动包括：v每学期开始时每周召开会议报告进展v为提交研究论文并成为合著者的学生提供更高的津贴v为教师导师举办辅导讲习班v为学生举办特别教学讲习班v一个科学诚信研讨会v强制参加一年一度的OK-LSAMP研究研讨会v所有参与者必须在地区或全国会议上提交研究论文v所有联盟参与者都将参加GRE预备课程

The Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (OK-LSAMP) in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) comprises the three comprehensive researchinstitutions (Oklahoma State University Oklahoma University and Tulsa University) , sixRegional Universities ( East Central University, Northeastern State University, Universityof Central Oklahoma, Northwestern State University Southeastern State University,Southwestern State University , and Cameron University) and the 1890 Land Grantinstitution (Langston University). iOklahoma State University is the lead institution; however, the programs will becoordinated through the graduate schools on the four partner campuses.The OK-LSAMP program proposes to significantly increase number of targeted studentspursuing entering into graduate programs preferably to earn the doctorate over the nextfive years . The goal is to have a minimum of 10% of the available baccalaureate degreegraduates for enrollment and subsequently graduation. We hope to accomplish this throughthe following objectives:* Formation of a strong research experience in their last two undergraduate years with twofull summers of research and two academic years of research activities.* Full participation in the Graduate School Preparation component as outlined in the Plan* Institutionalize a graduate education culture within the underrepresented group cultureand environment .These are the specific objectives that are alliance wide in implementation. Individualpartners have the autonomy to implement these objective according to the structure andorganization of programs on each campus. For example two of the campuses have a McNairprogram and they will work in concert with the McNair program.The specific programs and activities include:v Weekly meetings in the beginning of each semester to report progressv Enhanced stipends for students that present research papers and become co-authorsv Mentoring workshops for faculty mentorsv Special teaching workshops for studentsv One required Seminar on Scientific Integrityv Mandatory participation in the annual OK-LSAMP Research Symposiumv All participants must present a research paper at a regional or national meetingv All alliance participants will take the GRE Prep course
