Providing Suppport Structures for Chemistry Majors

该项目正在建立一个新的计划，为化学专业提供支持结构（PSSCM），以支持15-20名学生在整个本科化学教育。要获得PSSCM奖学金，学生必须证明有显著的经济需求，并表现出在化学方面取得成功的希望。该项目的目标是为这批学生提供重要的学术支持。该方案以现有的三个圣奥拉夫资源为基础：（一）国家认可的化学方案;（二）TRiO/特殊学生服务方案，该方案支持学生克服在高等教育中取得成功的财政、社会和文化障碍;和（iii）圣奥拉夫体验学习中心（CEL），该中心利用讲习班，实习，以及职业咨询，将学生的本科经历与未来的职业联系起来。 指导委员会包括化学教师和财政援助，SSS计划和CEL的董事。该委员会正在指导该计划，招募和选择PSSCM学者，并监督计划活动和指导。

This project is establishing a new program, Providing Support Structures for Chemistry Majors (PSSCM), to support 15-20 students throughout their undergraduate chemistry education. To qualify for PSSCM scholarships, students must demonstrate significant financial need and show promise for success in chemistry. The goal of this project is to provide significant academic support for this cohort of students. This program builds on three existing St. Olaf resources: (i) a nationally-recognized chemistry program; (ii) TRiO/Special Students Services (SSS) program, which supports students in overcoming financial, social, and cultural barriers to success in higher education; and (iii) St. Olaf's Center for Experiential Learning (CEL), which uses workshops, internships, and career counseling to link students' undergraduate experiences to future careers. A steering committee includes chemistry faculty and the directors of financial aid, the SSS program, and the CEL. The committee is guiding the program, recruiting and selecting PSSCM Scholars, and overseeing program activities and mentorship.
