2008Bridge to the Doctorate at Colorado State University (Cohort 3)

科罗拉多州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（CO-AMP）将在现有的博士学位桥梁（BD）项目的成功基础上，为科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科中代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）研究生提供有效的学术、指导和社交网络支持。科罗拉多州立大学（Colorado State University）的研究生多样性和准入中心（Graduate Center for Diversity and Access）将在整个专业发展过程中提供机会，从入学到完成STEM博士学位，再到成功的就业安置，再到作为校友重新加入该系统。该综合项目将招募和录取LSAMP学生进入STEM博士项目，重点是从国家LSAMP项目中招聘；通过建立一个建立社会和学术支持系统的BD网络，确保BD学生的保留和对教授的兴趣；提供以学生为中心的活动和指导计划。这些项目将包含关于URM在院系中存在的重要性的内容，包括指导教师顾问的研讨会，以及支持BD学生成功进入劳动力市场，重点是教授内部的任命。该计划包括严格的评估，以收集形成性和总结性数据，用于计划改进和全面分析。调查结果将在区域、州和国家多样性会议上以及在有关期刊上传播。

Colorado State University Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participating (CO-AMP) will build on the successes of the existing Bridge to the Doctorate (BD)program to support effective academic, mentoring and social networks among underrepresented minority (URM) graduate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The Graduate Center for Diversity and Access at Colorado State University will offer opportunities through the entire professional development journey, from matriculation to STEM doctoral completion and successful job placement and re-affiliation with the ystem as alumni.The comprehensive program will recruit and matriculate LSAMP students into PhD STEM programs with an emphasis on recruitment from national LSAMP programs; ensure BD student retention and interest in the professoriate by creating a BD network that builds social and academic support systems; provide student-centered activities and mentoring programs. The programs will be infused with content regarding the importance of URM presence in faculties that will include mentoring workshops to faculty advisors as well as support for successful placement of BD students in the workforce with an emphasis on appointments within the professoriate.
