Upstate New York LSAMP: Strengthening the Pipeline Between Two and Four Year Institutions

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（非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、太平洋岛民）的学生数量，使科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）劳动力多样化，成功完成高质量的STEM学位课程。对于纽约州北部路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（ULSAMP）来说，该联盟有七所合作机构：五所是四年制大学——雪城大学、克拉克森大学、康奈尔大学、伦斯勒理工学院和罗切斯特理工学院；其中两所是社区学院：门罗社区学院和奥农达加社区学院。雪城大学将开展活动，招募和留住传统上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，让他们进入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的学习和职业项目。ULSAMP项目的目标是通过提高STEM专业URM学生的招聘、学业成就和持久性，到2022年底，每年将有860名STEM URM学生毕业。该联盟计划扩大、完善和研究为社区大学生成功过渡到四年制STEM课程做准备的最佳实践。通过开展一项研究，调查研究经验、教师指导和社区大学管道对URM学生的坚持和毕业的作用，以及这些举措对增加URM学生在STEM中的代表性的影响，将加强活动。联盟项目和相关研究项目将产生与未被充分代表的少数族裔STEM学生的招聘、学业成功和坚持相关的新知识，这些知识将通过社交媒体、联盟网站、电子通讯、STEM会议和学术期刊传播。

The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations (African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders) to successfully complete high quality degree programs in STEM. For the New York State's Upstate Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ULSAMP), seven partner institutions comprise this alliance: five are 4-year institutions-Syracuse University, Clarkson University, Cornell University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Rochester Institute of Technology; two are community colleges: Monroe Community College and Onondaga Community College. Syracuse University will develop activities to recruit and retain traditionally underrepresented minority (URM)students into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs of study and careers.The ULSAMP project goal will collectively graduate 860 STEM URM students per year by the end of 2022 by improving the recruitment, academic success, and persistence of URM students in STEM majors. The alliance plans to expand, refine, and study best practices for preparing community college students for successful transition into four-year STEM programs. Activities will be enhanced by undertaking a research study to investigate the role of research experiences, faculty mentoring, and the community college pipeline on the persistence and graduation of URM students and the implications of these initiatives for increasing representation of URM students in STEM. The alliance project and the associated research project will generate new knowledge related to the recruitment, academic success, and persistence of underrepresented minority STEM students that will be disseminated through social media outlets, alliance websites, e-newsletters, STEM conferences and scholarly journals.
