Enhancing the Recruitment, Retention, Training, and Development of Predominantly Hispanic STEM Majors in the Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics)

该项目主要关注三个目标：(1)招收高中生到德克萨斯大学泛美分校攻读S-STEM领域--化学学士、物理学士或物理科学学士学位；(2)在高中生中促进STEM事业；以及(3)为S-STEM学者提供优质的培训、发展、教育和学生支持服务，使他们能够坚持自己的STEM领域，并及时完成学位。特别值得注意的是，该项目将提供S-STEM导师培训计划，该计划将与大学阅读与学习协会的导师认证计划保持一致。这个项目发生在南得克萨斯州，那里的西班牙裔人口比例很高，代表不足。

This project is focused on three main objectives: (1) to recruit high school students to pursue one of the following S-STEM fields at University of Texas Pan American - a B.S. in Chemistry, a B.S. in Physics, or a B.S. in Physical Science; (2) to promote STEM careers among high school students; and (3) to provide quality training, development, education, and student support services to S-STEM scholars to enable them to persist in their STEM field and finish their degree in a timely manner. Particularly noteworthy is that the project will provide an S-STEM Mentor Training Program that will be aligned with the mentor certification program of the College Reading and Learning Association. This program takes place in South Texas which has a high underrepresented Hispanic population.
