Providing Suppport Structures for Chemistry Majors

该项目正在建立一个新的项目，为化学专业学生提供支持结构（PSSCM），以支持15-20名学生完成本科化学教育。为了有资格获得PSSCM奖学金，学生必须证明有重大的经济需求，并在化学方面取得成功。该项目的目标是为这批学生提供重要的学术支持。该项目以圣奥拉夫现有的三个资源为基础：(i)国家认可的化学项目；（ii）三重奏/特殊学生服务（SSS）计划，帮助学生克服经济、社会和文化障碍，在高等教育中取得成功；（iii）圣奥拉夫体验式学习中心（CEL），该中心利用研讨会、实习和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主任，SSS计划和CEL。该委员会负责指导项目，招募和选择PSSCM学者，并监督项目活动和指导。

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.
