Organizational: Grinnell Science Project

Grinnell科学项目（GSP）是一个多学科计划，旨在提高传统上在科学中代表性不足的群体的学生在科学方面的成功，并使所有Grinnell College学生都能接触到科学并与之相关。该项目于1992年推出，以回应内部研究表明，学生，特别是那些有色人种，女性和第一代大学生，进入大学时声称有兴趣攻读科学学位，但当他们在入门科学课程中表现不佳时，放弃了他们的学术目标。科学司教师和学生生活管理人员制定了一项计划，旨在解决三个障碍，以成功的科学经验不足的学生;不成功的适应大学生活，学习风格，不响应传统的教学法，以及缺乏指导和榜样。为了解决这些问题，普惠制是在一系列年中制定的。它涉及课程改革、活动和结构，以培养科学家群体，提高学生成绩。GSP致力于培养所有对科学和数学感兴趣的学生的才能，特别是那些来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生，如有色人种学生，第一代大学生以及物理，数学和计算机科学领域的女性。招生是提供给学生从代表性不足的群体谁表示对科学或数学感兴趣，谁将是一年级学生在格林内尔。主要目标是帮助学生在格林内尔获得有效的开始。实现普惠制目标的一个主要工具是编织一个“辅导网”，不仅是教师对学生的密切辅导，而且是学生对学生和教师对教师的密切辅导。普惠制也极大地影响了新的科学设施的设计在格林内尔学院，这是一个国家的模式。通过促进学生的成绩和卓越的教学和学习，GSP解决了增加STEM劳动力的多样性的问题，使用一系列活动，所有这些都植根于密集的指导，并建立一个科学家社区（学生和教师都一样），支持在毕业前后坚持科学。在格林内尔科学项目之前，从1992年至1994年，平均每年有42名科学专业的女性和8名有色人种学生毕业。到2008年，这些数字增加到90名妇女（增加114%）和21名有色人种学生（增加162.5%）。超过500名学生参加了预适应计划，并获得了更高的平均成绩相比，那些谁被邀请，但没有参加。其他数千名学生从课程和教学改革以及建立的辅导关系中受益。普惠制已被一些高等教育机构，包括鲍登学院和布朗大学用作模式。继续努力满足在其他校区启动类似方案的援助请求。

The Grinnell Science Project (GSP) is a multi-disciplinary program aimed at increasing the success in science of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, and to make the sciences accessible and relevant for all Grinnell College students. The project was introduced in 1992, in response to internal studies that indicated that students, particularly those of color, female, and first-generation college students, were entering college with an avowed interest in pursuing degrees in the sciences, but abandoning their academic goals when they failed to do well in introductory science courses. Science Division faculty and student life administrators developed a program aimed at addressing three barriers to success in the sciences experienced by underrepresented students; unsuccessful acclimation to college life, learning styles that do not respond to traditional pedagogy, and a lack of mentoring and role models. To address these issues, GSP was devised over a series of years. It has involved curricular changes, activities and structures that foster a community of scientists, and improvement of student achievement. GSP is committed to developing the talents of all students interested in science and mathematics, especially those from groups underrepresented in the sciences, such as students of color, first-generation college students, and women in physics, mathematics and computer science. Enrollment is offered to students from underrepresented groups who express interest in science or math and who will be first-year students at Grinnell. The main goal is to help students get an effective start at Grinnell. A primary tool for accomplishing GSP goals is weaving a "web of mentoring," not only close mentoring of students by their teachers, but also student to student and faculty to faculty. GSP was also greatly influential in the design of new science facilities at Grinnell College, which are a national model. By promoting student achievement and excellence in teaching and learning, GSP addresses the issue of increasing the diversity of the STEM workforce, using a range of activities all of which are rooted in intensive mentoring, and building a community of scientists (students and faculty alike) that supports persistence in science through and after graduation. Prior to the Grinnell Science Project, from 1992-1994, an average of 42 science majors graduated annually who were women and eight who were students of color. By 2008, those numbers had increased to 90 women (a 114% increase) and 21 students of color (a 162.5% increase). Over 500 students have participated in the pre-orientation program and earned higher average grades compared with those who were invited but did not attend. Thousands of other students have benefited from the curricular and pedagogical changes, as well as from the mentoring relationships that have been established. GSP has been used as a model by a number of institutions of higher education, including Bowdoin College and Brown University. Efforts continue to accommodate the requests for assistance in initiating similar programs on other campuses.
