Hampton University proposes to establish a multidisciplinary CREST Center for Laser Sciences andSpectroscopy (CLaSS), which will build upon the existing scientific resources and faculty expertise available in laser spectroscopy. The vision of the Center is to develop a world-class, multidisciplinary laser spectroscopy research and education center that is a new national resource at an HBCU. The Center will integrate research, education, research training, and outreach in selected areas of science and engineering. The mission is to increase the number of doctoral degrees in important areas of science and technology awarded to underrepresented groups. The goals of the Center are to: 1) develop a multidisciplinary research center that will use laser spectroscopic techniques to advance the fundamental understanding of selected problems at the forefront of science and engineering; 2) enhance the undergraduate and graduate curricula by integrating research training to provide students with a solid foundation in laser spectroscopy; 3) involve students in an extensive program of research training and professional development including participation in national and international conferences, internships with our industrial partners, seminars presented by eminent scientists, and intensive training in scientific writing and presentations; and 4) develop innovative pre-college and undergraduate outreach programs that motivate student interest in pursuing careers in science and engineering. The K-12 outreach programs will be conducted in close collaboration with the Hampton and Newport News public school systems.

汉普顿大学建议建立一个多学科的CREST中心激光科学和光谱学（CLaSS），这将建立在现有的科学资源和教师的专业知识，在激光光谱学。该中心的愿景是发展一个世界级的多学科激光光谱研究和教育中心，这是HBCU的一个新的国家资源。该中心将在选定的科学和工程领域整合研究，教育，研究培训和推广。其使命是增加授予代表性不足群体的重要科学和技术领域博士学位的数量。该中心的目标是：1）发展一个多学科的研究中心，将使用激光光谱技术，以促进在科学和工程的前沿选定的问题的基本理解; 2）通过整合研究培训，为学生提供激光光谱学的坚实基础，以加强本科生和研究生课程; 3）让学生参与广泛的研究培训和专业发展计划，包括参加国家和国际会议，与我们的工业合作伙伴实习，由著名科学家举办的研讨会，以及科学写作和演讲的强化培训;以及4）开发创新的大学预科和本科拓展计划，激发学生追求科学和工程职业的兴趣。K-12外展计划将与汉普顿和纽波特纽斯公立学校系统密切合作进行。
