Mathematical Sciecnes: Graduate School Application Process Workshop

该项目将为期一天半的研究生院申请和流程研讨会纳入了促进奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学协会（SACNAS）全国会议。该项目与该协会的目标有关，其中一个目标是增加墨西哥裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生在科学、数学和工程领域攻读高等学位的人数。全国SACNAS会议的这个新维度将直接影响墨西哥裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生进入科学、数学和工程领域的研究生课程。该项目的目标：增加墨西哥裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生进入研究生课程的人数。教师和研究生顾问将协助本科生编写一份书面的目的陈述，以完成研究生院的申请。我们希望每个参加这个研讨会的高年级学生都能完成研究生院的申请和资助机构的申请。追求这个新方向的理由：参加SACNAS会议的大量学生和其他可能被这些会议吸引的人并不积极寻求研究生的机会。有些人根本不申请研究生院，而另一些人可能申请，但被拒绝入学，选择放弃申请研究生课程。课程形式：研讨会将包括研讨会，小组讨论，科学专题讨论会，小组讨论和教师咨询会议。资助机构代表和研究生项目招聘人员将在现场与学生讨论机会，并提供各自机构项目的信息。所有研讨会的项目、讨论和社会会议都旨在鼓励一个全国性的支持网络，鼓励墨西哥裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生更多地参与科学、数学和工程领域。本次研讨会将汇集一群才华横溢的本科生，并为他们提供必要的个人关注和建议，以完成一份优秀的研究生申请。

This project incorporates a one and one-half day Graduate School Application and Process Workshop into the National Conference of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). This project is tied to the goals of the Society, one of which is to increase the number of Chicano, Latino and Native American students pursuing advanced degrees in science, mathematics, and engineering fields. This new dimension to the National SACNAS Conference will directly impact the entrance of Chicano, Latino and Native American students into graduate programs in science, mathematics, and engineering fields. The Goal of the Program: To increase the number of Chicano, Latino and Native American students gaining entrance to graduate programs. Faculty and graduate student advisors will assist undergraduate students in developing a well written statement of purpose leading to a complete graduate school application. The hope is that every senior student who attends this workshop to leaving having completed both a graduate school application and a funding agency application. The Rationale for Pursuing this New Direction: A significant number of students who attend SACNAS conferences and others who could be attracted to these conferences are not aggressive in pursuing graduate opportunities. Some simply never apply to graduate schools while others who may apply, but are denied admission, choose to give up on seeking admission to a graduate program. Program Format: The workshop will contain workshops, panel discussions, scientific symposia, small group discussions and faculty advising sessions. Funding agency representatives and graduate program recruiters will be on hand to discuss opportunities with the students and will be available to provide information on their respective institution's programs. All of the workshop's programs, discussions, and social sessions are deigned to encourage a national support network of people interested in en couraging Chicano, Latino and Native American students to have a greater participation in science, mathematics, and engineering fields. This workshop will bring together a group of highly talented undergraduates and offer them the personal attention and advice necessary to complete an excellent graduate school application.
