Garden State LSAMP Phase II

花园州LSAMP （GS-LSAMP）将以第一阶段实施的发现和成功为基础。GS-LSAMP在第一阶段实现了其5年目标，即通过开发一种主要基于创新使用在线教育资源、研究经验和最佳实践的变革性招聘和保留系统，在短短四年内将STEM学科中历史上代表性不足的学生获得的STEM学士学位数量增加一倍。在第二阶段，将通过关注学生的两个关键过渡点来加强实践的变革系统：(1)社区大学到四年制STEM大学，(2)STEM学士课程到STEM研究生院。总体目标是为STEM学科的学生提供从学士学位课程无缝过渡到STEM研究生课程或STEM职业的途径。专注于这两个关键的过渡点，将使GS-LSAMP继续成功地培养出准备充分、有资格进入STEM研究生课程和STEM劳动力的学生，从而改善劳动力的多样性，提高国家的全球竞争力。作为第一个过渡点，GS-LSAMP的有效实践将扩展到一个由附近五所社区学院组成的财团，这些学院都是西班牙裔服务机构（hsi），是该联盟的主要提供者。一个新的名称已经开发，使他们成为花园州LSAMP的准成员。准会员资格将帮助社区学院建立使花园州LSAMP成功的实践。通过一系列的互动和资源共享，一种从社区大学到四年制大学的无缝过渡模式将为那些在STEM领域历史上代表性不足的学生开发出来。对于第二个过渡点，GS-LSAMP将通过将研究和国际经验整合到本科学术课程中，鼓励和促进LSAMP学者进入研究生院和研究职业。其目标是大大提高LSAMP毕业生中就读研究生院并考虑从事涉及研究的职业的比例。国际经验将通过汇集来自整个联盟的所有机会来提供，以找到最适合个人学生需求的机会。GS-LSAMP的结构化项目将“引导学者沿着从最初对STEM学科的兴趣一直到职业生涯的整个路径”，将建立有关如何发展强大的区域联盟的知识，并可以成为其他联盟（机构联盟）的典范，以复制多样化和有才华的学生群体的成功。

The Garden State LSAMP (GS-LSAMP) will build upon the findings and successes realized in the Phase I implementation. GS-LSAMP achieved its 5-year goal in Phase I of doubling the number of STEM Baccalaureate degrees earned by students historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines in just four years by developing a transformative system of recruitment and retention based primarily upon innovative use of online education resources, research experiences, and best practices. In Phase II, the transformative system of practices will be enhanced by focusing on two critical transition points for students: (1) community college to a four-year institution in STEM and (2) STEM baccalaureate program to graduate school in STEM. The overall goal is to enhance pathways for students in STEM disciplines to seamlessly transition through a baccalaureate program and into STEM graduate programs or STEM careers. Focusing on these two critical transition points will allow GS-LSAMP to continue to be successful in producing students who are well-prepared and well-qualified for admission into STEM graduate programs and the STEM workforce, thereby improving the diversity of the workforce and enhancing the nation's global competitiveness.For the first transition point, effective practices of GS-LSAMP will be expanded into a consortium of five nearby community colleges all of which are Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and primary feeders to the alliance. A new designation has been developed making them Associate Members of the Garden State LSAMP. Associate membership will aid the community colleges in instituting the practices that made the Garden State LSAMP successful. Through a series of interactions and sharing of resources, a new and seamless transition model from community colleges to four-year institutions will be developed for students historically underrepresented in STEM. For the second transition point, GS-LSAMP will encourage and facilitate the transition of LSAMP scholars into graduate school and research careers by integrating research and international experiences into the undergraduate academic program. The goal is to greatly increase the percent of graduating LSAMP scholars who attend graduate school and consider pursuing careers that involve research. International experiences will be offered by pooling all of the opportunities from across the alliance to find the best fit for individual student needs. GS-LSAMP's structured program, which will "guide scholars along the entire path from first interest in a STEM discipline all the way to a career", will build knowledge about how to develop a strong regional alliance and can become a model for other alliances (consortia of institutions) to replicate for the success of a diverse and talented group of students.
