Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Hinds Community College-Utica seeks to build on previous successful efforts to facilitate students' transition from high school to community college to four year institutions and to increase their success rate in STEM disciplines. The goal is to assist students in navigating their educational path and to increase retention and graduation rates of students with STEM associate degrees. The project aims to specifically increase the placement of community college students into four-year institutions through academic partnerships with Jackson State University and Alcorn State University. The project is expected to create a pathway model for student matriculation from community colleges to four-year degree granting institutions which can be adapted and scaled by other institutions of higher education.The following activities and strategies are designed to meet the project's goals: development of the Summer STEM Academic Integrated Learning Program for high schools students in Copiah, Claiborne, Hinds, and Vicksburg-Warren counties; a College Success Camp for entering freshmen; development of a support and mentoring program to assist students with transfer and enrollment in a four-year university of their choice while providing them with summer research experiences at the Hinds Community College-Utica campus or at participating universities; establishment of faculty professional development programs to assist faculty in restructuring the learning environment and in building new collaborations. A cyber-mentoring component will be established to continue providing support to graduates of the program once they transfer to a four-year program. The project strategies supporting these objectives are evidence-based and will be monitored and evaluated for effectiveness.

实施项目为传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 提供支持，以设计、实施、研究和评估全面的机构工作，以增加获得科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 本科学位的学生数量，并通过加强 STEM 教育和研究来提高其准备质量。尤蒂卡海因兹社区学院的该项目旨在以之前的成功努力为基础，促进学生从高中过渡到社区大学和四年制院校，并提高他们在 STEM 学科的成功率。其目标是帮助学生完成他们的教育道路，并提高拥有 STEM 副学士学位的学生的保留率和毕业率。该项目旨在通过与杰克逊州立大学和奥尔康州立大学的学术合作伙伴关系，专门增加社区学院学生进入四年制院校的机会。 该项目预计将为学生从社区学院升入四年制学位授予机构创建一个途径模型，其他高等教育机构可以对其进行调整和扩展。以下活动和策略旨在实现该项目的目标：为科皮亚县、克莱伯恩县、欣兹县和维克斯堡-沃伦县的高中生制定夏季 STEM 学术综合学习计划；为新生举办的大学成功营；制定支持和指导计划，帮助学生转学到自己选择的四年制大学，同时为他们提供在海因兹社区学院尤蒂卡校区或参与大学的暑期研究经验；建立教师专业发展计划，协助教师重组学习环境和建立新的合作。 将建立一个网络辅导部分，以便在该项目的毕业生转入四年制项目后继续为他们提供支持。支持这些目标的项目战略是基于证据的，并将对其有效性进行监测和评估。
