The TU-CCP Academic Community

描述（由申请人提供）：资金要求支持坦普尔大学，TU -费城社区学院，中共学术界。随着我们从桥梁到学士学位计划的初步拨款，我们建立了一个基础设施，导致大大提高了少数民族学生在CCP的学术表现。布里奇斯队列进行了非布里奇斯少数对照组和大多数人口显着，此外，虽然我们打算为30名学生的总队列，我们的研讨会，补充教学和研究经验扩展到70多名学生。我们的第一个桥梁队列没有转移（75%）到四年计划。一名学生被列为一篇论文的合著者。另外两人是目前手稿的贡献者。来自第一个研究队列的三名学生留在CCP，并可能在学年结束时转移。 许多学生利用辅导和补充说明，但由于其他承诺不能参加研究。在这个项目中，我们打算在成功的基础上再接再厉。我们通过扩展教程和补充教学来增加我们的学术支持服务，设计了一个更活跃的夏季丰富课程，并创建了一个全面的研究课程介绍。为了支持学生超越桥梁资助水平，我们提出了一个发展/筹款组成部分。通过发展筹集的资金将用于增加实习机会的数量，并将桥梁计划最关键的组成部分制度化。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Funds are requested to support the Temple University, TU - Community College of Philadelphia, CCP Academic Community. With our initial grant from the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program, we established an infrastructure that led to greatly increased academic performances among minority students at CCP. The Bridges cohort out performed the non-Bridges minority control group and the majority population significantly, In addition, though we intended serving a total cohort of 30 students, our seminars, supplemental instruction, and research experiences were extended to over 70 students. Our first Bridges cohort did transfer (75%) to four year programs. One student was included as a co-author on a paper. Two others are contributors to a current manuscript. Three students from the first research cohort remain at CCP and will likely transfer at the end of the academic year. Many students took advantage of the tutoring and supplemental instruction but because of other commitments could not join research. In this project, we intend to build on our success. We have increased our academic support services by extending the tutorials and supplement instruction, designed a more active summer enrichment and created a comprehensive introduction to research course. To support students beyond the level of Bridges funding we propose a development/fund raising component. Funds raised through development will be used to increase the number of intern opportunities and to institutionalize the most critical components of the Bridges Program.
