Minority Institutions Infrastructure: Furthering the Goal of Increasing the Number of Minority Undergraduate and Graduate Students in CISE Disciplines

小行星9522079 该奖项为一个全面的计划提供支持，该计划将对泽维尔大学的计算机科学和相关学科进行实质性的基础设施变革。 该计划的目标是：1）增加50%的CISE学科专业的数量，2）增加100%的CISE专业学生进入研究生院的数量，以及3）扩大所有CISE学生和教师的研究活动。 这些目标将通过修改和大幅扩大目前的夏季外展计划，扩大本科生的研究和指导计划，并建立新的教学和研究实验室来解决。 该项目建立在泽维尔健康科学非常成功的类似努力的基础上。 预计在计算学科也可以取得类似的结果，在这个项目中开发的模型有可能成为少数民族学生在其他类似机构取得成功的国家模式。 ***

9522079 Giguette This award provides support for a comprehensive program that will make substantial infrastructure changes to the computer science and related disciplines at Xavier University. The goals of the program are 1) to increase the number of majors in CISE disciplines by 50%, 2) to increase the number of CISE majors who go to graduate school by 100%, and 3) to expand the research activities of all of the CISE students and faculty. These goals will be addressed by revising and significantly expanding the current summer outreach programs, expanding the undergraduate research and mentoring programs, and establishing new teaching and research laboratories. This project builds on the very successful similar efforts in the health sciences at Xavier. It is anticipated that comparable results can be achieved in the computing disciplines as well and that the model developed in this project has the potential to become a national model for minority student success at other similar institutions. ***
