EMSW21-MCTP: Nebraska Mentoring through Critical Transition Points

内布拉斯加大学-林肯大学内布拉斯加州通过关键过渡点（MCTP）项目，由内布拉斯加大学主办？林肯数学系，目标是三个关键的过渡时期，在数学家的准备：？从大学一年级的数学课到本科研究的过渡，？从本科到研究生水平的数学过渡，以及？从高级研究生工作过渡到学术职位的早期阶段。本提案力求确定关键的过渡点，并利用以前在这些关键点提供指导的成功经验。这些努力的成果过去已广为宣传和传播，今后传播的计划也很合理。特别是，其中一些项目似乎可以在其他机构进行调整;在四年制学院和研究型大学之间建立伙伴关系的想法是一个明显的想法，但在其他地方还没有得到充分的探索。本提案中概述的方案为考虑建立这种伙伴关系的机构提供了明确的指导。将联合收割机这一角色作为一种资源与包括来自UNL以外的机构的预科生结合起来，在UNL的全国范围内招聘？强化数学：一个指导，教育和研究经验，和大学生妇女在会议上的广泛参与，为大学生妇女在数学，以及这一建议的影响的广度是显而易见的。

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.
