Southern Nevada Northern Arizona LSAMP

LSAMP计划的重点是(a)提高代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的个人学生保留率和升读学士学位，(b)使代表性不足的学生能够成功地从2年制到4年制的STEM项目机构转学(c)增加获得高质量本科研究经验的机会，以及(d)促进代表性不足的学生无缝过渡到STEM研究生项目。南内华达和北亚利桑那LSAMP （SNNA-LSAMP）是高等教育机构的联盟，包括研究型大学（内华达大学，拉斯维加斯和北亚利桑那大学）和社区学院（南内华达学院和科科尼诺社区学院）在科罗拉多河下游盆地。SNNA-LSAMP的目标是在五年内大幅增加在联盟机构获得科学、技术、工程和技术（STEM）学士学位的少数族裔（URM）学生的数量。SNNA-LSAMP将提供服务和活动，以提高联盟机构中URM STEM学生的学习成绩、坚持不懈和毕业率。具体来说，SNNA-LSAMP将为这些学生提供密集的、近同伴的指导；加强学科社会化的STEM课外活动；本科生研究机会；实习;优先注册STEM课程；并优先获得联盟校园提供的所有学术支持服务。此外，SNNA-LSAMP将促进参与者从社区学院转到大学的顺利过渡，并在申请研究生院的过程中为高年级参与者提供逐步指导。SNNA-LSAMP将通过提供讲习班来提高联盟机构中教授和讲师的多元文化能力，从而改善URM学生的STEM课堂体验。因此，SNNA-LSAMP将成为内华达州南部和亚利桑那州北部实现高素质STEM人才多样化和显著扩大的重要组成部分，加速该地区向STEM初创企业的持续转型，并将成为寻求搬迁的成熟STEM企业的一个有吸引力的目的地。

The LSAMP Program priorities are to (a) increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, (b) enable successful transfer of underrepresented students from 2-year to 4-yearinstitutions in STEM programs (c) increase access to high quality undergraduate research experiences, and (d) facilitate seamless transition of underrepresented students into STEM graduate programs. Southern Nevada Northern Arizona LSAMP (SNNA-LSAMP) is an alliance of higher education institutions that includes research universities (University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Northern Arizona University) and community colleges (College of Southern Nevada and Coconino Community College) in the Lower Colorado River Basin. SNNA-LSAMP's goal is, within five years, to increase substantially the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who earn science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) baccalaureate degrees at alliance institutions.SNNA-LSAMP will provide services and activities that bolster the academic performance and persistence and graduation rates of URM STEM students at alliance institutions. Specifically, SNNA-LSAMP will provide these students with intensive, near-peer mentoring; out-of-class STEM activities that enhance disciplinary socialization; undergraduate research opportunities; internships; priority registration for enrollment in STEM courses; and priority access to all academic support services provided on alliance campuses. Furthermore, SNNA-LSAMP will facilitate the smooth transitions for participants transferring from its community colleges to its universities, as well as provide upper-division participants with step-by-step guidance through the process of applying to graduate school. SNNA-LSAMP will improve the STEM classroom experience for URM students by providing workshops that enhance the multicultural competence of professors and instructors at alliance institutions. Consequently, SNNA-LSAMP will be a vital component of efforts to diversify and significantly expand the pool of highly qualified STEM workers in southern Nevada and northern Arizona, accelerating the region's ongoing transformation into fertile ground for STEM startups and will be an attractive destination for established STEM-based businesses seeking to relocate.
