LSAMP

花园州-路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（GS-LSAMP）将汇集新泽西州东北部高度城市化地区的所有主要学院和大学，在5年内将STEM学科中代表性不足的少数族裔的毕业生数量增加一倍。联盟成员将使用？最佳实践?其他LSAMP？以及创新的技术，以最好地满足学生的学术和社会需求，并改变这些学生对STEM职业的态度。在大学水平上，STEM领域的三个有充分证据的流失原因将成为目标：学术支持、经济需求和社会支持。GS-LSAMP将包括罗格斯大学-纽瓦克分校（多样性排名全国第一），与罗格斯大学-新不伦瑞克分校、蒙特克莱尔州立大学、肯恩大学、威廉帕特森大学、新泽西市立大学（HSI）、费尔利迪金森大学、布卢姆菲尔德学院和埃塞克斯郡学院合作，采用创新的？轮毂和辐条？有北部、中部和南部集群的模型。每个集群将在更大的LSAMP社区内发展独立和多功能的子社区，拥有临界质量的学生和教师。GS-LSAMP将创建一个强大的协作学习社区，并通过分享知识来影响当地社区学院和城市学区。最佳实践?在STEM领域的教学和学习。GS-LSAMP还将通过GS-LSAMP学者和这些机构的学生之间的一对一互动，影响当地的高中和社区大学社区。cybercommunity ?将使用创新和本地测试的软件和技术创建。由于人口密集，与公众互动的机会丰富，服务学习将成为GS-LSAMP学者的重要选择，在该地区有STEM需求的许多行业中实习/实习也是如此。还将有真实的和虚拟的国际组成部分。智力价值：该项目通过社会和学术网络，为GS-LSAMP学者、教授和研究生创造一个合议的联盟内部和联盟内部环境的能力。新生将在暑期桥体验中适应大学生活，其中包括一对一辅导的密集学术研讨会、学术技能研讨会、职业发展研讨会和个人发展建议。学术支持，包括辅导，建议和指导将在整个学年继续。GS-LSAMP学者将获得支持和鼓励，与STEM教师和研究生一起进行研究。他们将在定期会议和研讨会上与GS-LSAMP的同行分享他们的研究，这也将提供面对面的机会，建立友谊和支持网络，补充网络社交网络社区。更广泛的影响：GARDEN-LSAMP有潜力为有兴趣攻读STEM学位并最终从事STEM领域职业的年轻学者形成学术和社会支持网络。开发的社交网络软件将提供给所有LSAMP联盟。该网络将提高STEM专业学生对机会的认识，并将导致新泽西州未被充分代表的学生渴望进入STEM相关领域的人数全面增加。作为GS-LSAMP联盟成员的学校将获得更高毕业率和成功的研究生事业的更多样化的学生群体。

The Garden State-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (GS-LSAMP) will bring together all of the major colleges and universities from the highly urbanized northeastern part of New Jersey to double the number of graduates from underrepresented minority groups in STEM disciplines in 5 years. The Alliance members will use the ?best practices? of other LSAMP?s as well as innovative techniques to best address the academic and social needs of the students and to change the attitude of these students towards STEM careers. Three well-documented causes of attrition in STEM fields at the university level will be targeted: academic support, financial need and social support. The GS-LSAMP will include Rutgers University-Newark (#1 nationally in diversity) in consortium with Rutgers-New Brunswick, Montclair State University, Kean University, William Paterson University, New Jersey City University (HSI), Fairleigh Dickinson University, Bloomfield College, and Essex County College using an innovative ?hub and spoke? model with northern, central, and southern clusters. Each cluster will develop independent and versatile sub-communities with critical masses of students and faculty within the larger LSAMP community. The GS-LSAMP will create a robust Collaborative Learning Community with outreach beyond the Alliance to impact local community colleges and urban school districts through the sharing of ?best practices? in teaching and learning in STEM fields. The GS-LSAMP will also impact local high school and community college communities through one-on-one interactions among GS-LSAMP Scholars and the students in those institutions. A ?cybercommunity? will be created using innovative and locally tested software and techniques. With the dense population and abundance of opportunities to interact with the public, service learning will be an important option for GS-LSAMP Scholars, as will internships/externships among the many industries with STEM needs in the area. There will also be both real and virtual international components.Intellectual Merit: The ability of the project to create, through social and academic networking, a collegial inter- and intra-Alliance environment for the GS-LSAMP Scholars, professors and graduate students. Incoming students will acculturate to college life in a Summer Bridge experience that includes intensive academic workshops augmented by one-to-one tutoring, Academic Skills Seminars, Career Development workshops, and personal development advising. Academic support, including tutoring, advising and mentoring will continue throughout the academic year. The GS-LSAMP Scholars will receive support and encouragement to conduct research with STEM faculty and graduate students. They will share their research with their GS-LSAMP peers in periodic meetings and seminars, which will also provide face-to-face opportunities to build friendships and support networks, that supplement the cyber social networking community. Broader Impact: The GARDEN-LSAMP has the potential to form a network of academic and social support for young scholars interested in pursuing STEM degrees and ultimately careers in STEM fields. The social networking software developed will be made available to all LSAMP alliances. This network will enhance the awareness of the opportunities for students who major in STEM disciplines and will lead to an overall increase in the numbers of underrepresented New Jersey students aspiring to STEM-related fields. The schools that are members of the GS-LSAMP alliance will gain a more diverse group of students with high graduation rates and successful post-graduate careers.
