LSAMP Bridge to the Baccalaureate: North Carolina STEM Alliance (NCSA)

路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）项目帮助大学和学院通过努力显著增加历史上代表性不足的少数民族人口的学生数量，成功完成科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科的高质量学位课程，使STEM劳动力多样化。LSAMP通往学士学位（B2B）的桥梁资助机会为历史上代表性不足的少数族裔STEM学生提供支持，这些学生在社区大学开始他们的教学，意图转入4年制STEM学位课程，此外还有其他基础设施支持，如STEM教师专业发展。北卡罗来纳STEM联盟（NCSA）由中央皮埃蒙特社区学院（CPCC）领导，是一个由CPCC、戴维森县社区学院（DCCC）和吉尔福德技术社区学院（GTCC）组成的社区学院联盟。该联盟将实施各种活动，可能会增加代表性不足的少数民族和退伍军人对STEM学科的参与，并确保所有人口都有机会在STEM职业中取得成功，从而提高国家的竞争力。该项目的目标是增加未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）学生转到大学STEM项目的人数。NCSA将通过有针对性的参与、职业探索和双招生来实现这一目标。将实施的活动，以减轻社区大学学生，特别是urm的障碍，包括：情境化课程，有针对性的学术支持，指导和主动建议，研究和职业经验，专业发展，K-16课程对齐和教师专业发展。该项目制作的报告和学术出版物将与国家社区学院和其他劳动力利益相关者组织共享。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The LSAMP Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) funding opportunity provides support for historically underrepresented minority STEM students who begin their instruction at a community college with the intent to transfer into 4-year STEM degree programs in addition to other infrastructure support such as STEM faculty professional development. The North Carolina STEM Alliance (NCSA), under the leadership of Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), is a community college alliance consisting of CPCC, Davidson County Community College (DCCC) and Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC). The alliance will implement a variety of activities that could potentially increase the participation of underrepresented minorities and veterans in STEM disciplines and ensure that all populations have the opportunity to succeed in STEM careers thereby increase the nation's competitiveness.The goals of the project are to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who transfer to university STEM programs. The NCSA will reach this goal through targeted engagement, career exploration, and dual enrollment. Activities that will be implemented to mitigate barriers for community college students, particularly URMs, include: contextualized curriculum, targeted academic support, coaching and proactive advising, research and career experiences, professional development, K-16 curriculum alignment and faculty professional development. Presentations and scholarly publications produced by the project will be shared with national community college and other workforce stakeholder organizations.
