The Southern California ACCESS Center and Network

该项目涉及洛杉矶盆地以下机构和组织的合作努力：六所加州州立大学--洛杉矶、多明格斯山庄、富勒顿、长滩、北岭和波莫纳；东洛杉矶、洛杉矶和帕萨迪纳的社区学院；还有，盆地的几个学区--加维-阿尔罕布拉-圣加布里埃尔，洛杉矶，帕萨迪纳。该项目包括一系列协调的活动，目标是整个洛杉矶市，旨在显著增加少数族裔在科学、工程和技术职业中的代表性。为解决代表性不足问题而采取的基础广泛的办法是在高校、工商界、公立学校和社区组织之间建立联盟。密歇根州立大学六个校区的少数民族入学总人数为25,000人，少数民族入学比例从13%(CSU-Fullerton)到47%(CSU-Domguez Hills)不等。少数族裔入学人数最多的是加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，接近6400人(39%)。洛杉矶联合学区的少数民族入学人数为351,000人，占总人数的59%。中心的每个CSU校区都是各种活动的节点，这些活动的目的是确保中心的各项目标以协调一致的方式进行。总体而言，该中心是将各级教育渠道联系在一起的纽带，是发展协同作用的独特催化剂，是开发和评估新想法的背景，是帮助校园开展活动的输出者和促进者，也是南加州机构和人员网络的主要节点。该中心也是协调和加强CSU校园中已经存在的许多有价值的少数族裔项目及其与大学预科水平联系的刺激因素。它将在参与机构和组织之间建立新的有效沟通和“横向”行动途径。该中心的行政结构通过作为该中心理事机构的咨询委员会、一个执行委员会、一名执行主任、四个工作队和一个机构咨询委员会，提供了集中领导、分散规划和灵活执行的有效结合。小学项目包括在与加州大学洛杉矶分校毗邻的学区建立科学技能中心；在加州大学洛杉矶分校建立暑期科学学院；在加州州立大学北岭分校建立小学科学学生助理计划。

This project involves a cooperative effort among the following institutions and organizations in the Los Angeles Basin: six California State Universities--Los Angeles, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Long Beach, Northridge, and Pomona; Community Colleges in East Los Angeles, Los Angeles, and Pasadena; and, several school districts in the Basin-- Garvey-Alhambra-San Gabriel, Los Angeles, Pasadena. The project consists of a set of coordinated activities, targeted throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles, designed to significantly increase the representation of minorities in careers in science, engineering and technology. The broad- based approach taken to solve the underrepresentation problem centers on the establishment of coalitions among colleges and universities, business and industry, public schools and community organizations. Minority enrollment at the six CSU campuses totals 25,000, with percentage of minority enrollment ranging from 13% (CSU-Fullerton) to 47% (CSU-Dominguez Hills). The largest minority enrollment, nearly 6,400 (39%), is at CSU-Los Angeles. Minority enrollment in the Los Angeles Unified School District is 351,000 which is 59% of the total. Each CSU campus in the Center acts as a node for a variety of activities which take place to ensure that the goals and objectives of the Center are carried out in a coherent manner. Taken as a whole, the Center functions as a bond that links together all levels of the educational pipeline, as a unique catalyst to develop synergism, as a context within which to develop and evaluate new ideas, as an exporter and facilitator in helping campuses to implement activities, and as the major node of a network of Southern California institutions and people. The Center also serves as the stimulus to coordinate and enhance the many valuable minority programs already in place at CSU campuses and their linkages with precollege levels. It will forge new levels of effective communication and of "horizontal" action pathways among participating institutions and organizations. The administrative structure for the Center provides an effective combination of focused leadership, distributed planning and flexible implementation through an Advisory Council which is the governing body for the Center, an Executive Committee, an Executive Director, four Task Forces, and a Corporate Advisory Board. Elementary School Projects involve the development of Science Skills Centers in school districts contiguous to CSU- Los Angeles; a Summer Science Institute at CSU-Los Angeles; and a Student Aides for Science in Elementary Schools Program at CSU-Northridge.
