Marie Curie Scholar Program (MCSP) at College of Saint Mary

这所女子学院正在招收和留住生物、化学或数学专业的学生。目标包括以下科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）相关行动：课程改进，当地实习和研究机会以及校园研究。该项目包括通过为S-STEM奖学金获得者提供额外支持来加强和扩大现有学生支持和就业安置计划的计划。除了奖学金，该项目还包括修改生物学，化学和数学课程，将服务学习组件引入三个领域的每一个课程，并增加STEM学生的校内研究活动数量。STEM教师开发了一个本科研究计划，利用机构和当地的支持，促进生物，化学和数学专业之间的合作。更广泛的影响。通过满足S-STEM计划的主要目标，该项目服务于更广泛的目标，即增加生物，化学和数学领域合格女性毕业生的数量。该机构从管理该项目中获得的知识的传播提供了关于如何招募和留住女性STEM学生的见解，以及女性在STEM学科取得成功所需的基本支持结构。

This all women's college is recruiting and retaining students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, or Mathematics. The objectives include the following science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related actions: curricula enhancement, local intern and research opportunities, and on-campus research. The project includes plans for enhancing and augmenting existing student support and job placement programs by providing additional support for S-STEM scholarship recipients.Intellectual Merit. In addition to scholarships, this project includes modifying the Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics curricula to introduce service-learning components into one course in each of the three areas and to increase the number of on-campus research activities available for STEM students. STEM faculty have developed an undergraduate research program utilizing institutional and local support that fosters collaboration between Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics majors. Broader Impacts. By meeting the primary goals of the S-STEM program, this project serves the broader objective of increasing the number of well-qualified women graduates in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Dissemination of the knowledge that the institution gains from administering this project is providing insights on how to recruit and retain female STEM students, and the essential support structures necessary for women to succeed in STEM disciplines.
