EMSW21-MCTP: Nebraska Mentoring through Critical Transition Points

内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校：内布拉斯加州关键过渡点辅导项目（MCTP）林肯数学系，目标是培养数学家的三个关键过渡时期：？从大一水平的数学课到本科研究的转变？从本科阶段到研究生阶段的数学过渡，以及？从高级研究生工作到早期学术职位的过渡。该建议努力确定关键的过渡点，并利用以前在这些关键点上提供指导的成功经验。这些努力的成果在过去得到了广泛的宣传和传播，今后的传播计划是健全的。特别是，其中一些项目似乎可以在其他机构进行调整；在四年制大学和研究型大学之间建立合作关系的想法是显而易见的，但在其他地方还没有得到充分的探索。本提案中概述的项目为考虑这种伙伴关系的机构提供了明确的指导。将这一角色作为资源与包括来自UNL以外机构的预科毕业生，UNL的全国招聘相结合？《强化数学：指导、教育和研究经验》，以及本科女性广泛参与数学本科女性会议，以及本提案影响的广度是显而易见的。该项目由DMS和EPSCoR共同资助。

AbstractUniversity of Nebraska - LincolnThe Nebraska Mentoring through Critical Transition Points (MCTP) project, hosted by the University of Nebraska ? Lincoln Department of Mathematics, targets three critical transition periods in preparation of mathematicians:? The transition from freshman level mathematics classes to undergraduate research,? The transition from undergraduate to graduate level mathematics, and? The transition from advanced graduate work to the early years of an academic position.This proposal strives to identify key transition points and to exploit previous successes in providing mentoring at these key points. The results of these efforts have been widely advertised and disseminated in the past, and the plan for future dissemination is sound. In particular, several of these programs seem like they could be adapted at other institutions; the idea of forging partnerships between four-year colleges and research universities is an obvious one, but one that has not been sufficiently explored elsewhere. The programs outlined in this proposal offer clear guidance to institutions considering such partnerships. Combine this role as a resource with the inclusion of pre-grads from institutions other than UNL, the nationwide recruitment in UNL?s Intensive Mathematics: A Mentoring, Education, and Research Experience, and the broad participation of undergraduate women in the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics, and the breadth of the impact of this proposal is clear.This project is being co-funded by DMS and EPSCoR.
