HSI Implementation and Evaluation Project: Latinidad: Transforming Latinx College Experiences through Mentoring and Research Practices in STEMWith support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this Track 2 project aims to establish a mentoring program at New Mexico State University (NMSU), an HSI that serves a large population of Mexican American students, also known as Latinx. The HSI Implementation and Evaluation Project: Latinidad: Transforming Latinx College Experiences through Mentoring and Research Practices in STEM program will be an alliance between faculty, researchers, graduate, and undergraduate students. Our goal is to build community – a family-type relationship that provides reciprocal growth, development, and success through academic, emotional, navigational, and socio-cultural support. The program will support underrepresented undergraduate STEM students in their academic journeys to expand their network and build community with other students and faculty, especially where representation of underrepresented minority students including Latinx in STEM programs such as engineering, computer science, and mathematics is low. The program will provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to be involved in research activities guided by faculty and graduate students. The mentoring component and research involvement will contribute to the increase in the number of underrepresented students pursuing graduate degrees, thereby improving underrepresented faculty representation. The project aims to explore the impact of mentoring experiences on underrepresented undergraduate students in STEM who try to find role models, career guidance, culturally relevant approaches, and academic/science identity. The research questions will address: How does the participation of undergraduate students in mentoring through the Latinidad STEM program help shape their short and long-term goals concerning their educational and career paths? How does the involvement of undergraduate students in research activities through the Latinidad STEM program influence their perception as scientists? Through a mixed methods approach, the leadership team will use surveys, interviews, observations, ongoing participant feedback, and evaluation team reporting to help respond to research questions and inform decisions. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

HSI实施和评估项目：拉丁美洲：通过STEM的指导和研究实践改变Latinx学院的经历在不断改进的本科生STEM教育：拉美裔服务机构(HSI计划)的支持下，这个Track 2项目旨在新墨西哥州立大学(NMSU)建立一个指导计划，HSI是一个服务于大量墨西哥裔美国学生(也称为Latinx)的HSI。HSI实施和评估项目：拉丁美洲：通过STEM中的指导和研究实践转变Latinx学院的经验计划将是教职员工、研究人员、研究生和本科生之间的联盟。我们的目标是建立社区--一种家庭类型的关系，通过学术、情感、航海和社会文化支持提供互惠的成长、发展和成功。该计划将支持代表性不足的本科生STEM学生的学术旅程，以扩大他们的网络，并与其他学生和教师建立社区，特别是在工程、计算机科学和数学等STEM课程中，包括拉丁裔在内的代表性不足的少数族裔学生的代表性较低的地方。该项目将为本科生提供一个机会，让他们在教职员工和研究生的指导下参与研究活动。辅导部分和研究参与将有助于增加任职人数不足的学生攻读研究生学位的人数，从而改善任职人数不足的教职员工人数。该项目旨在探索辅导经验对STEM中未被充分代表的本科生的影响，这些本科生试图找到榜样、职业指导、与文化相关的方法和学术/科学认同。研究问题将涉及：本科生通过拉丁美洲STEM计划参与指导如何帮助他们形成关于他们的教育和职业道路的短期和长期目标？本科生通过拉丁美洲STEM项目参与研究活动对他们作为科学家的认知有何影响？通过混合方法，领导团队将使用调查、访谈、观察、持续的参与者反馈和评估团队报告来帮助回答研究问题并为决策提供参考。HSI计划旨在加强本科生STEM教育和HSI的能力建设。HSI计划支持的项目也将产生关于如何实现这些目标的新知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
