The University of South Florida (USF) together with Hillsborough Community College (HCC) proposes a series of coordinated programs designed to broaden the participation of Hispanic as well as other underrepresented minority students in computing. The proposed programs will establish the educational pathway and provide the support that students need to make successful transitions at critical points in their educational journey from the community college to the baccalaureate level and from the baccalaureate to the graduate level. The programs are built upon the strengths of the partnering institutions: HCC?s successful personalized advising, mentoring, and tracking initiatives and USF?s research experience with undergraduates are utilized as recruiting, retention, and enhancement tools. A personalized advising service and two summer programs combining research and academic courses are proposed to recruit, retain, and prepare community college students on their path toward 4-yr universities. The advising service will track students very closely to make sure they take and continue in the chosen path. The academic courses, with an important programming and math component, will allow the transfer students to meet the academic requirements for admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at USF. The research component will pave the way for them to participate in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs later on. These summer programs will be designed and implemented by USF and HCC professors, creating a new learning community that will extend to HCC classrooms on a permanent basis. USF?s REU programs for juniors and seniors will be utilized to help transfer students graduate and prepare them for graduate school and the work force. These research programs are also meant to create a learning community among these students, and the graduate students and professors at USF.

南佛罗里达大学(USF)与希尔斯伯勒社区学院(Hillsborough Community College)共同提出了一系列协调计划，旨在扩大拉美裔学生以及其他未被充分代表的少数族裔学生在计算机领域的参与。拟议的计划将建立教育途径，并为学生在从社区学院到学士学位水平和从学士学位到研究生水平的教育过程中的关键时刻成功过渡提供所需的支持。这些项目建立在合作机构的优势之上：成功的个性化咨询、指导和跟踪计划利用了北京华大S，以及美国联邦大学S对本科生的研究经验，作为招聘、留住和提高能力的工具。建议提供个性化的咨询服务和两个结合研究和学术课程的暑期项目，以招募、留住社区学院的学生，并为他们迈向四年制大学的道路做好准备。咨询服务将非常密切地跟踪学生，以确保他们走上并继续走上选定的道路。这些学术课程包含重要的编程和数学部分，将使转学学生能够满足进入美国联邦计算机科学与工程系的学术要求。研究部分将为他们稍后参加本科生研究体验(REU)项目铺平道路。这些暑期计划将由美国联邦大学和美国大学教授设计和实施，创建一个新的学习社区，将永久扩展到美国大学的课堂。美国联邦大学S针对大三和大四的REU项目将被用来帮助转学的学生毕业，并为他们进入研究生院和就业做好准备。这些研究项目也是为了在这些学生以及USF的研究生和教授中创建一个学习社区。
