CHICAGO LINKAGE FOR MINORITIES IN BIOMEDICAL CAREERS

芝加哥生物医学科学中少数族裔联系的目标 (攀登)是增加进入生物医学领域的少数族裔人数 通过帮助他们从两年的成功过渡到职业生涯 一所大学提供学士学位。 芝加哥州立大学(CSU)，最大的以少数民族为主的大学 美国中西部的一所大学与三个芝加哥城市建立了合作伙伴关系 招生以少数族裔为主的大学(CCC)：肯尼迪-金 学院、奥利弗-哈维学院和哈罗德·华盛顿学院。 通过这种伙伴关系，许多学生和教职员工的活动将 致力于提高CCC的成功过渡和毕业 进入加州州立大学的学生。 学生活动的设计是为了提供职业咨询， 学术支持，课程充实，同行和导师支持， 参与研究和进入生物医学职业的动力。 学院教师专业发展活动包括暑期活动。 在CSU研究实验室的研究，CSU教职员工参加的研讨会， CCC教职员工出席地方和国家研究会议， 改进CCC科学设备，同时正在进行的 课程检讨与潜质课程发展将共同进行 由CSU和CCC教员授课。 该计划将跟踪攀登学生并比较他们的表现 相对于转学到南加州大学的同一所大学的学生。 入学考试、平均绩点、毕业率和 将为这两组人确定职业安置，以便衡量 节目的成功。

The objective of the Chicago Linkage for Minorities in Biomedical Sciences (CLIMB) is to increase the number of minorities entering biomedical careers by facilitating their successful transition from a two year college to one offering a baccalaureate degree. Chicago State University (CSU), the largest predominately minority university in the midwest has formed a partnership with three Chicago City Colleges (CCC) with predominately minority enrollments: Kennedy-King College, Olive-Harvey College, and Harold Washington College. Through this partnership a number of student and faculty activities will be undertaken to increase the successful transition and graduation of CCC students entering CSU. Student activities are designed so as to provide career counselling, academic support, course enrichment, peer and mentor support, participation in research and motivation to enter biomedical careers. Activities for the professional development of CCC faculty include summer research in CSU research labs, CSU seminar participation by CCC faculty, attendance by CCC faculty at local and national research meetings, improvement of CCC science equipment in conjunction with an on-going curriculum review and development of potential courses to be jointly taught by CSU and CCC faculty. The program will track CLIMB students and compare their performance relative to other students from the same CCC who transfer to CSU. Performance on entrance exams, grade point averages, graduation rates and career placement will be determined for both cohorts in order to measure the success of the program.
