Valencia College in Orlando, FL on behalf of the Central Florida STEM Alliance (CFSA) is seeking funding under the LSAMP B2B program to double the number of underrepresented minority (URM) STEM students (from 321 to 642) transferring from three community colleges to the University of Central Florida (UCF) and other universities. The target population for this project is African Americans and Hispanic students. The community colleges within the Alliance are: Valencia College, a designated Hispanic Serving Institution, fiscal agent and project lead, (VC), Lake-Sumter State College (LSSC), and Seminole State College of Florida (SSC). This project will expand and focus efforts toward building a system and infrastructure for URM students in STEM majors. This project will focus efforts to increase the transfer rate of underrepresented minorities through focused efforts including: 1) providing clear and targeted advising; 2) providing information about STEM fields and career opportunities; 3) encouraging their projective identity as a STEM professional; and 4) increasing opportunities for students to conduct research.

佛罗里达州奥兰多市的瓦伦西亚学院代表中央佛罗里达STEM联盟（CFSA）正在LSAMP B2B计划下寻求资金，以将从三所社区学院转入中央佛罗里达大学（UCF）和其他大学的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）STEM学生人数增加一倍（从321人增加到642人）。该项目的目标人群是非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔学生。联盟内的社区学院有：瓦伦西亚学院，一个指定的西班牙裔服务机构，财政代理和项目领导，（VC），萨姆特湖州立学院（LSSC），和佛罗里达塞米诺尔州立学院（SSC）。该项目将扩大并集中努力为STEM专业的URM学生建立系统和基础设施。该项目将集中努力提高代表性不足的少数民族的转移率，重点包括：1）提供明确和有针对性的建议; 2）提供有关STEM领域和职业机会的信息; 3）鼓励他们作为STEM专业人员的投射身份;以及4）增加学生进行研究的机会。
