Minority Training Program in the Marine Sciences

在科学领域，尤其是地球科学领域，少数族裔没有得到很好的代表。目前正在作出相当大的努力，以增加代表性不足的少数民族参与海洋科学。为此目的，将在杜克大学海洋实验室开展一个为期两年的海洋科学培训方案。这将包括一个学期的住宿学院课程，为少数民族本科生提供全面的教育和研究经验。这将包括一名驻校导师，即一名少数民族教员，他将作为访问学者、导师和这些学生的榜样，以提高他们的教育和研究经验的成功。

Minorities are not well represented in careers in science, particularly the geosciences. Considerable effort is being made to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in marine science. To this end, a two-year training program in marine sciences will be initiated at the Duke University Marine Laboratory. This will include a semester-in- residence college program, which provides a comprehensive educational and research experience for minority undergraduate students. This will include a mentor-in-residence, i.e., a minority faculty member, who will function as a visiting scholar, a tutor and role model for these students to enhance the success of their educational and research experience.
