BRIDGE TO THE BACCALAUREATE IN THE BRONX

布朗克斯社区学院(BCC)和雷曼学院(LC)，这两所学院都是 位于布朗克斯，是纽约城市大学(CUNY)的一部分。 它们是少数族裔机构，拥有高素质的科学教师， 相当大的理科和相关的健康科学学生人数，以及强大的 致力于科学教育和本科生研究。两者都有 大学有NIH少数民族生物医学研究支持计划，以及 LC也有一个少数人进入研究职业计划。至 继续深造，大部分北京管委会转校生优先选择LC 纽约州立大学4岁学校。然而，密件抄送理科学生的数量 转到LC的人数很少，这可能是由于学生的不安全感和 缺乏自信。在任何一种情况下，困难的过渡期都可能 干扰学生的进步和成功。的主要目标是 该项目是为了促进和促进BCC科学的转型 转读生物化学、生物学、 LC化学或心理学专业。该项目主要针对bcc。 然而，理科学生和教职员工也将从中受益。BCC 理科学生将获得更好的学术准备，额外 以咨询和辅导等形式提供的学术支持 本科生的研究机会。BCC理科教员将有一个 建立正式机制，在研究中重新确立自己的地位 活动。大桥项目将在BCC建立一个科学院， 以及一项正式的BCC-LC科学转移计划。帮助确保 转移项目的成功，大桥项目将增加 B CC学生对自己能力的认识，以及工商管理学士/工商管理硕士的要求。 课程，以及追求高等教育所需的动机水平 在科学界。过渡将通过指导来缓解， 加州大学的研究活动和科学研讨会。预计这将是 增加北京中文大学理科学生转读LC和 继续本科生研究，显然对LC及其 教职员工。此外，科学转移应该做好更好的准备。 BCC教职员工将从教职员工的合作中受益，他们的 增加研究活动。这些BCC教职员工将是 预计将为自己的项目争取资金，以便进一步 增加学生在社区学院的研究机会。 该项目最终应该会增加少数族裔科学的数量 继续攻读学士学位课程的学生，并最终 研究生院。

Bronx Community College (BCC) and Lehman College (LC), which are both located in the Bronx, are part of the City University of New York (CUNY). They are minority institutions, with highly qualified science faculties, sizable science and allied health science student populations, and strong commitments to science education and undergraduate research. Both colleges have an NIH Minority Biomedical Research Support Program, and LC has a Minority Access to Research Careers Program as well. To continue their education, most BCC transfer students select LC over other CUNY 4-yr. schools. However, the number of BCC science students who transfer to LC is small, which may be due to student insecurities and a lack of confidence. In either case, a difficult transition period could interfere with a student's progress and success. The primary goal of this project is to improve and facilitate the transition of BCC science students who transfer to baccalaureate programs in Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry or Psychology at LC. The project is aimed primarily at BCC science students and faculty, however, LC will benefit as well. The BCC science students will get a better academic preparation, additional academic support in the form of counseling and tutoring, and more undergraduate research opportunities. BCC science faculty will have a formal mechanism in place to reestablish themselves in research activities. The Bridge project will establish a Science Academy at BCC, and a formal BCC-LC transfer program in the sciences. To help assure success for the transfer program, the Bridge project will increase the BCC student's awareness of their abilities, the demands of the B.A./B.S. program, and the level of motivation needed to pursue higher education in the sciences. The transition will be eased through mentoring, research activities and science seminars at LC. This is expected to increase the number of BCC science students who transfer to LC and continue undergraduate research, clearly a benefit for LC and its faculty. Furthermore, the science transfers should be better prepared. BCC faculty will benefit from the faculty collaborations, and their increased research activities. These BCC faculty members will be expected to pursue funding for their own projects, so as to further increase the student research opportunities at the community college. The project should ultimately increase the number of minority science students who continue on to a baccalaureate program, and eventually to graduate school.
