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

俄克拉荷马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的OK-LSAMP由三个综合性研究机构组成（俄克拉荷马州州立大学、俄克拉荷马州大学和塔尔萨大学），六所地区大学（东中央大学、东北州立大学、中俄克拉荷马州大学、西北州立大学、东南州立大学、西南州立大学、和卡梅隆大学）和1890年的土地赠予机构（兰斯顿大学）。俄克拉何马州立大学是牵头机构;然而，该计划将通过四个合作校区的研究生院进行协调。OK-LSAMP计划建议在未来五年内显著增加目标学生的数量，以进入研究生课程，最好是获得博士学位。目标是至少有10%的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：* 在他们最后两个本科学年形成强大的研究经验，其中包括两个完整的夏季研究和两个学年的研究活动。充分参与计划中概述的研究生院准备部分 * 在代表性不足的群体文化和环境中建立研究生教育文化。这些是联盟范围内实施的具体目标。个人合作伙伴有自主权，以实现这些目标，根据结构和组织方案在每个校园。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作作者的学生提供更多的津贴v为教师导师举办指导研讨会v为学生举办特殊的教学研讨会v必须参加一次关于科学诚信的研讨会v强制参加年度OK-LSAMP研究研讨会v所有参与者必须在地区或国家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
