Regional Workshops on Increasing the Enrollment of Male Undergraduates in STEM Disciplines at Minority-serving Institutions

少数群体优质教育网络项目正在举办三个区域讲习班，重点是增加少数群体服务机构STEM专业的男本科生入学人数。这三个区域讲习班将在2010年3月和4月期间举行。该项目的目标是举办一系列讲习班，重点是提高男女生入学人数的有效战略和最佳做法，特别是在STEM；确定潜在的加强渠道选择；编写和传播关于最佳做法和主要讲习班结论的总结报告。总的来说，这三个讲习班将提供来自两年和四年制拉美裔服务机构(HSI)、部落学院和大学/阿拉斯加土著服务机构(TCU/ANSI)和历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的代表的广泛代表性、经验和观点。TCU/ANSI、HSIS和HBCU都面临STEM学科男性招生人数有限的静默危机，所有人都将从研讨会所带来的扩大的知识基础中受益。所有代表性不足的群体，包括少数族裔男性，更多地参与STEM，将产生重大的社会效益，包括增加STEM工作人员。

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network's project is conducting three regional workshops focused on increasing the enrollment of male undergraduates in STEM disciplines at Minority-serving Institutions (MSIs). The three regional workshops will take place during March and April 2010. The goals of the project are to conduct a workshop series focused on effective strategies and best practices for increasing male student enrollment at MSIs, particularly in STEM; to identify potential reinforcing pipeline options; and to prepare and disseminate a Summary Report on the best practices and key workshop findings. Collectively, the three workshops will provide a broad spectrum of representation, experiences and perspectives from representatives of two and four-year Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs); Tribal Colleges and Universities/Alaska Native-Serving Institutions (TCUs/ANSIs); and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).TCUs/ANSIs, HSIs and HBCUs all share the quiet crisis of limited enrollment of males in STEM disciplines and all will benefit from the expanded knowledge base resulting from the workshops. Significant societal benefits, including an enhanced STEM workforce, will result from greater participation in STEM of all underrepresented groups, including minority males.
