项目摘要

Wesleyan University will carry out a pilot study to examine the effectiveness of a multi-layered strategy to engage, recruit, and retain more underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduate college students in the geosciences at a small, liberal arts school. Using a combination of University and NSF funds, this project will survey all first-year students arriving at Wesleyan about their attitudes towards, and background in, geoscience and the out-of-doors. This information will be used to help define specific topics in the geosciences which are of particular interest to URM students, if any, and identify student needs or concerns that may prevent them from pursuing this subject as a major. A new seminar in environmental science, racism, and justice will be developed and offered to incoming students, who participate in a summer seminar prior to arriving on campus for their freshman year. A summer internship for rising sophomores will be established, with up to 5 students working at the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the hydrological consulting firm of Leggette, Brashears & Graham, or participating in summer research experiences with Wesleyan University or Queens College faculty. To help build a network of support for minority students entering the geoscience program, a variety of activities that foster a sense of community, including a Homecoming Weekend geoscience seminar and reception for minority students taking geoscience courses and their families, will be created. The strategies developed for this program, if effective, may serve as a model for broadening participation in the geoscience departments at similar institutions elsewhere.
卫斯理大学(Wesleyan University)将开展一项试点研究,以检验一种多层策略的有效性,该策略旨在在一所小型文理学院的地球科学专业吸引、招募和留住更多代表性不足的少数族裔(URM)本科生。该项目由卫斯理大学和美国国家科学基金会共同资助,将调查卫斯理大学所有一年级学生对地球科学和户外活动的态度和背景。这些信息将用于帮助确定URM学生特别感兴趣的地球科学特定主题(如果有的话),并确定学生的需求或担忧,这些需求或担忧可能会阻止他们将该主题作为专业。一个关于环境科学、种族主义和正义的新研讨会将被开发出来,并提供给新生,他们在大一入学前参加一个夏季研讨会。将为即将入学的大二学生设立暑期实习,最多5名学生在康涅狄格州环境保护部和Leggette, Brashears & Graham水文咨询公司工作,或与卫斯理大学或皇后学院的教师一起参加暑期研究经验。为了帮助建立一个支持少数民族学生进入地球科学项目的网络,将开展各种活动,培养社区意识,包括返校周末地球科学研讨会和为参加地球科学课程的少数民族学生及其家人举办的招待会。为这个项目制定的策略如果有效,可以作为一个模型,在其他类似机构中扩大地球科学部门的参与。
