项目摘要

Diversity in Research in Environmental And Marine Science (DREAMS-II) combines the strengths of two leading HBCUs, Hampton University and Elizabeth City State University, and two top-notch research institutions, Virginia Institute of Marine Science and University of South Carolina, to form a strong regional consortium in the mid-Atlantic coast for promoting geosciences among underrepresented students across all education levels. DREAMS-II goals are to raise the awareness and interests in geosciences among underrepresented groups; to recruit underrepresented pre-college students into geosciences; to retain and prepare underrepresented undergraduate students for graduate study or work in geosciences; to cultivate the next generation of leaders among underrepresented students in geosciences. The program puts equal emphasis on academic training, career training, as well as life-skills training, and the activities will revolve around the theme Coastal Environmental Challenges in the 21st Century. Geoscience seminars, summer immersion courses, technical and life skill workshops will equip participating undergraduate students with the necessary knowledge to navigate through challenges in school and in life. DREAMS-II undergraduate students and project investigators will aggressively reach out to pre-college students and parents that are underrepresented in the geosciences. GeoTrek outdoor adventures, after school activities, special recruitment brochures and campus tours will allow these pre-college students and their parents to experience the excitement and to understand the importance of geosciences. This program ultimately seeks to present participants with a strong and clear message that they can achieve a successful career in geosciences.

环境与海洋科学研究多样性 (DREAMS-II) 结合了两所领先的 HBCU（汉普顿大学和伊丽莎白城市州立大学）以及两所一流研究机构（弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所和南卡罗来纳大学）的优势，在大西洋中部海岸形成了一个强大的区域联盟，以促进各个教育级别的代表性不足的学生的地球科学发展。 DREAMS-II 的目标是提高代表性不足的群体对地球科学的认识和兴趣；招募代表性不足的大学预科学生进入地球科学领域；留住代表性不足的本科生并为其做好研究生学习或地球科学工作的准备；在地球科学领域代表性不足的学生中培养下一代领导者。项目坚持学术培训、职业培训和生活技能培训并重，活动围绕“21世纪沿海环境挑战”主题。地球科学研讨会、暑期沉浸式课程、技术和生活技能研讨会将为参与的本科生提供必要的知识，以应对学校和生活中的挑战。 DREAMS-II 本科生和项目研究人员将积极接触地球科学领域代表性不足的大学预科学生和家长。 GeoTrek户外探险、课后活动、特别招聘手册和校园参观将使这些预科学生及其家长体验兴奋并了解地球科学的重要性。该计划最终旨在向参与者传达一个强烈而明确的信息，即他们可以在地球科学领域取得成功的职业生涯。
