Project Description: This project intends to increase graduate rates and improve the academic profile of minority science who begin their academic careers at Community College of Philadelphia and transfer to Temple University through development of the TU- CCP Academic Community. The program has two major components both being directed at critical points in the educational process. The first is the high school to community college transition where students falter both academically and personally. The second critical point is at the community college-university transition. The summer enrichment program will provide the necessary intervention to ensure academic performance in the first academic year at the community college. Research projects offered as part of the summer enrichment experience will introduce students to chemistry and biology and couple classroom learning to basic research applications. The coursework material will be made relevant. During the first years at the community college, students will be involved in an integrated research program which will introduce students to the university environment. Special courses, seminars, advising and mentorship will be offered to all students. After transfer to the four year institution, students can continue in their research or take advantage of industrial practicum experiences in their major. There will be professional development courses and preparation for graduate study. Throughout all years of the program students will have access to supplemental instruction, student and faculty mentorship, research opportunity and career counseling. We believe that these best practices will produce a cohort of academic achievers from an at risk group.

项目描述：该项目旨在通过发展TU-CCP学术社区，提高在费城社区学院开始学术生涯并转学到坦普尔大学的少数族裔科学的毕业率和学术形象。该计划有两个主要组成部分，都是针对教育过程中的关键点。第一个是从高中到社区大学的过渡，学生在学业和个人方面都步履蹒跚。第二个关键点是社区学院向大学的转型。暑期充实计划将提供必要的干预措施，以确保社区学院第一学年的学习成绩。作为暑期丰富体验的一部分，研究项目将向学生介绍化学和生物，并将课堂学习与基础研究应用相结合。课程作业材料将变得相关。在社区学院的头几年，学生们将参与一个综合研究项目，向学生介绍大学环境。将为所有学生提供特别课程、研讨会、咨询和指导。在转到四年制院校后，学生可以继续他们的研究或利用他们专业的工业实践经验。将有专业发展课程和研究生学习准备。在该计划的所有年份，学生将有机会获得补充指导、学生和教师指导、研究机会和职业咨询。我们相信，这些最佳实践将从高危群体中培养出一批学术成就卓越的人。
