Conference: Cal-Bridge Summer Institute Alumni Conference

加州大学圣克鲁斯分校将于2023年7月16日至23日组织和主办加州桥夏季学院校友会议。参与者将是加州大学(UC)和加州州立大学(CSU)系统之间的合作伙伴Cal-Bridge的校友，他们是博士生。Cal-Bridge旨在为历史上代表性不足的学生提供进入研究和教授职位的途径。在这个暑期计划中，学习社区将重点关注人们如何学习和循证教学实践。该小组将在整个学年继续定期举行虚拟会议，以促进思想和最佳做法的交流。这项奖励将用于非加州大学校区博士生的工作坊费用。加州-布里奇暑期学院是一系列专业发展研讨会，将有两个主要目标：1)培养有效的教育者，2)培养有效的研究领导者。除了这些，会议还将包括各种较短的职业发展指导会议，以及社区和队列建设活动。本次会议旨在解决加州大学系统以外目前正在攻读博士学位的加州大学桥校友在教授和专业研究人员道路上的两个系统性失落点：博士学位的完成和进入劳动力大军。具体地说，该奖项将：1)扩大向更多来自不同背景的博士学者提供的专业发展的影响，2)为加州桥大学的博士生提供空间，以建立他们的专业网络和社区。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。

The University of California Santa Cruz will organize and host the Cal-Bridge Summer Institute Alumni Conference, July 16-23, 2023. Participants will be doctoral students who are alumni of Cal-Bridge, a partnership between the University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU) systems. Cal-Bridge was designed to provide pathways into research and the professorate for historically underrepresented students. During this summer program the learning community will focus on how people learn and on evidence-based teaching practices. The group will continue with regular virtual meetings throughout the academic year to promote the exchange of ideas and best practices. This award will cover the workshop costs for former Cal-Bridge students who are doctoral students at non-UC campuses. The Cal-Bridge Summer Institute, a series of professional development workshops, will have two major thrusts: 1) developing effective pedagogues, and 2) developing effective research leaders. In addition to these, the conference will include a variety of shorter professional development mentorship sessions, and community and cohort building activities. This conference aims to address two systemic points of loss along the professorial and professional researcher pathway for Cal-Bridge alumni currently in PhD programs outside of the University of California system: completion of the PhD, and entrance into the workforce. Specifically, the award will: 1) Broaden the impact of the professional development being offered to a larger group of doctoral scholars from diverse backgrounds, and 2) Provide space for Cal-Bridge Doctoral students to hold discussions and activities to build up their professional network and community.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.
