CO-AMP Phase III

科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）与科罗拉多大学博尔德分校、刘易斯堡学院、科罗拉多州立大学普韦布洛分校、丹佛大都会州立学院、科罗拉多大学科罗拉多斯普林斯分校、科罗拉多大学丹佛分校、科罗拉多矿业学院、亚当斯州立学院、特立尼达州立初级学院、普韦布洛社区学院、丁学院、AIMS社区学院、四个部落国家和行业构成了1995/96年成立的CO-AMP联盟的一部分。该联盟正在提议comamp第三阶段，该阶段将进行全面的努力，以解决与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科中代表性不足的学生相关的以下活动：保留和领导力项目纵向跟踪暑期拓展项目研究生院安置LS CO-AMP第三阶段提案的主要目标是继续增加未被充分代表的少数民族学生在科罗拉多州成功完成STEM学科学士学位的人数。CO-AMP的第三阶段将以1995年开始的LS CO-AMP的势头和成功为基础。在参与机构注册本科STEM学位课程的未被充分代表的学生（西班牙裔、非裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民）将从拟议的活动中受益匪浅。该联盟的努力将从大一预科阶段扩展到研究生院项目的招生。自1995年以来，CO-AMP联盟一直是相关机构的主要推动力，鼓励和激励学生在STEM领域取得优异成绩并获得学士学位。在参与机构中，不同学生的入学率和知名度都有所提高，LS CO-AMP的入学率自成立以来增加了68%。学生在各自学科的表现有了极大的提高。除了国家科学基金会的支持外，中央行政部门、联盟机构的部门和学院、工业和科罗拉多理工学院也提供了大量的支持。非常重要的是，联盟机构的教职员工提供了必要的支持，没有这些支持，LS CO-AMP的活动不可能如此成功。参与该项目的机构、行业、部落理事会和科罗拉多州高等教育委员会预计将在2006年至2011年期间继续支持该项目。该财团的成功将继续与全国其他LS amp分享。此外，CO-AMP将与研究生教育联盟（Alliance for Graduate education）和教授联盟（AGEP）合作，为更多代表性不足的学生提供STEM研究生课程。通过将联盟机构和合作伙伴的资源联系起来，并继续努力从所有可用来源寻求资金，LS CO-AMP将继续推动其在联盟机构内开发的成功项目的制度化。这对于确保学生从这些项目中获得的好处在国家科学基金会的资助不再可用后继续下去是至关重要的。科罗拉多LS CO AMP正在寻求继续增加在STEM学科中获得学士学位的本科生人数。此外，LS CO-AMP第三阶段计划招收少数族裔学生进入研究生院，以确保未来STEM研究生学科中少数族裔学生的比例平衡。在第三阶段，在NSF资助到期后，该联盟将努力使其项目活动制度化并维持下去。LSCO-AMP在第一和第二阶段取得了相当大的成功，在拟议的lco - amp第三阶段项目中，联盟的成功将得到扩大。预计与科罗拉多州高等教育委员会、立法机构和国会代表的成功合作将加强科罗拉多州LS CO-AMP的可持续性。通过评估活动以及LS CO- amp与其他联盟（如agep， McNair奖学金计划和落基山中学数学科学伙伴关系）的合作，LS CO- amp计划提高对文化差异和必要制度变革的认识，以便在NSF资助到期后积极维持对UREP STEM本科生和研究生的支持。此外，第二阶段项目和活动的结果将大大增加对urepp学生在研究生和本科STEM学科中的问题和挑战的理解。LS CO-AMP第三阶段的重点是继续第一阶段和第二阶段的招聘和保留活动，以及将uep本科生录取到研究生院。这种对研究生教育的承诺将产生更多的uep STEM教师，反过来，他们将帮助将更多不同的学生带到课堂上。它还将促进有效和可持续的体制转型，以增强STEM学科的多样性。此外，这种多样性承诺将改善科罗拉多州和全国urp学生的整体氛围。

A-1Louis Stokes Colorado Alliance for Minority ParticipationCO-AMP Phase III Project SummaryColorado State University (CSU) in collaboration with the University of Colorado at Boulder, Fort LewisCollege, Colorado State University at Pueblo, Metropolitan State College of Denver, the University of Colorado atColorado Springs, the University of Colorado at Denver, Colorado School of Mines, Adams State College, TrinidadState Junior College, Pueblo Community College, Din College, AIMS Community College, four tribal nations, andindustry constitute part of the CO-AMP consortium that was formed in 1995/96. The consortium is proposing COAMPPhase III that will undertake a comprehensive effort to address the following activities in connection withunder-represented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines:Recruitment, retention & leadership programs Longitudinal trackingSummer outreach programs Graduate school placementThe primary goal of the LS CO-AMP Phase III Proposal is to continue increasing the number ofunderrepresented minority students successfully completing baccalaureates degrees in STEM disciplines inColorado.Phase III of CO-AMP will build upon the momentum and the success of LS CO-AMP, which began in1995. The underrepresented students (Hispanic, African American, Native American, and Pacific Islanders) who areenrolled in the undergraduate STEM degree programs at the participating institutions will benefit greatly from theproposed activities. The efforts of the Consortium will extend from the pre-freshmen level to enrollment in graduateschool programs. The CO-AMP consortium has been the major driving force at the institutions involved since 1995to encourage and motivate students to excel and graduate with a B.S. degree in the STEM fields. The enrollment andvisibility of diverse students has increased at the participating institutions which is demonstrated by the 68%increase in the LS CO-AMP enrollment since its inception. Student performance in their respective disciplines hasimproved tremendously. A significant level of support, in addition to that from the NSF, has been provided by thecentral administrations, the Departments and Colleges of the Consortium institutions, Industry, and the ColoradoInstitute of Technology. Very importantly, the faculty and staff members of the Consortium institutions haveprovided essential support without which the activities of LS CO-AMP could not have been so successful. CO-AMPparticipating institutions, industry, tribal councils and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education are expectedto continue their support of the project from 2006 to 2011. The success of this consortium will continue to be sharedwith the other LS AMPs in the nation. In addition, CO-AMP will work with the Alliance for Graduate Educationand the Professoriate (AGEP) to place more underrepresented students in STEM graduate studies.By linking the resources of the Consortium institutions and partners and by continuing ongoing efforts tosolicit funding from all available sources, LS CO-AMP will continue to promote institutionalizing the successfulprograms it has developed within the Consortium institutions. This is essential to assure that the benefits tostudents, which occur from these programs, continue after funding from the NSF is no longer available.Intellectual MeritColorado LS CO AMP is looking to continue increasing the number of underrepresented undergraduatestudents graduating with a Bachelors Degree in STEM disciplines. In addition, LS CO-AMP Phase III is planningto matriculate underrepresented (UREP) students into graduate school to ensure a future balance of therepresentation of minority students in STEM graduate disciplines. During Phase III, the Consortium will worktoward institutionalizing and sustaining its program activities after the NSF Funding expires. LS CO-AMP has hadconsiderable success during Phase I and II, and the Consortiums success will be amplified during the proposed LSCO-AMP Phase III project. The anticipated successful collaboration with the Colorado Commission on HigherEducation, the legislature, and congressional representatives, will strengthen the sustainability of LS CO-AMP in theState of Colorado.Broader ImpactThrough the assessment of the activities and the collaboration of LS CO-AMP with other alliances such asAGEP, McNair Scholarships Program, and Rocky Mountain Middle School Math Science Partnership, LS CO AMPplans to increase awareness of cultural differences and necessary institutional changes to positively sustain supportof UREP STEM undergraduate and graduate students after NSF funding expires. Moreover, the results of the PhaseIII programs and activities will add substantially to the understanding of the issues and the challenges of UREPstudents in graduate and undergraduate STEM disciplines. The focus of LS CO-AMP Phase III is to continue therecruitment and the retention activities of Phase I and Phase II, as well as to matriculate the UREP undergraduatestudents into graduate school. This commitment to graduate education will produce more UREP STEM facultymembers who, in turn, will help in bringing more diverse students to the classroom. It will also enable effective andsustainable institutional transformation to enhance diversity in STEM disciplines. In addition, this diversitycommitment will improve the overall climate for UREP students in the State of Colorado and nationwide.
