9315422苏尔金西华盛顿大学提议在香农点海洋中心更新他们的少数族裔海洋科学本科课程(MIMSUP)。MIMSUP的目标是增加海洋科学专业中有针对性的脊椎/少数民族学生的比例。这项计划招收少数民族本科生，时间为大三的两个季度。八名少数民族学生将参加一项教育计划，该计划结合了最初的专业教学阶段，然后是在综合环境中的正式课程。冬季区提供海洋科学的基本物理、化学和生物过程方面的基本培训；关于使用尖端分析仪器的讲习班；参与监测和研究项目；一个期刊俱乐部；以及实地考察。春季班包括三门海洋科学课程。学生将在这两个季度获得30个学分。WWU已经分配了一个教员职位给Shannon Point来监督这个项目。

9315422 Sulkin Western Washington University proposes to renew their Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program (MIMSUP) at the Shannon Point Marine Center. The objective of MIMSUP is to increase the representation of targeted rachial/ethnic minority students in marine science professions. This program recruits minority undergraduates for two quarters of their junior year. Eight minority students will participate in an educational program that combines an initial phase of specialized instruction, followed by formal courses in an integrated setting. The Winter Quarter provides fundamental training in the physical, chemical and biological processes basic to marine science; workshops on use of sophisticated analytical instrumentation; participation in monitoring and research projects; a journal club; and field trips. The Spring Quarter includes three marine science courses. Students will receive 30 credits for these two quarters. WWU has allocated a faculty position to Shannon Point to supervise the program.
