AMP: CSU Alliance for Minority Participation, Phase II

HRD-9802113 Ratcliffe加州少数族裔参与联盟(CSU AMP)建议继续在全州范围内成功地全面努力，显著增加获得科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)学士学位的少数族裔学生的数量。到新的授权期(2003-2004年)结束时，CSU AMP将通过其在第二阶段的加强努力，再次将授予少数族裔学生的SMET学位数量增加一倍，这一数字是第一阶段(750)确定的基准的四倍。在第一阶段，我们成功地抓住了从高中到大学、从低级到高级的关键过渡点。在第二阶段，我们将通过增加对社区大学的关注来加强我们的计划。我们的具体目标是通过发展CSU/社区学院咨询团队，以及制定和实施战略，使这些团队开发的咨询方法制度化，从而极大地改善社区大学层面的SMET咨询。24所社区大学--总招生人数超过40万人--已被确定为这项活动的积极参与者。此外，我们将创造大量有偿学年研究机会，为三年级和四年级学生提供与他们的SMET目标直接相关的校园体验。第二阶段的一个重要目标是全州范围的机构改革。CSU将与加州大学AMP计划(CAMP)一起，在发展由加州大学、加州州立大学和加州社区学院系统的教职员工和管理人员组成的跨部门委员会方面发挥领导作用。这些委员会将解决的问题包括：SMET咨询，社区学院向CSU和UC传输电子成绩单，以及分享有效教学策略的机制。CSU AMP全州管理委员会由K-12教育、高等教育和私营部门的主要领导人组成。它由CSU校长担任主席，监督一般项目的运作，并在扩大学术界、工业界和政府部门对联盟的支持方面提供指导和协助。CSU校长承诺每年提供800,000美元，用于支持与夏季桥、学年研讨会和第二阶段研究机会部分相关的学生津贴。这一承诺与参与的22个CSU和25个社区学院承诺的200万美元/年一起，代表着我们要求NSF提供的3比1的支持。

HRD-9802113 Ratcliffe The California State Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU AMP) proposes to continue its successful comprehensive, state-wide effort to increase significantly the number of minority students who receive a baccalaureate degree in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET). By the end of the new grant period (2003-2004), the CSU AMP, through its enhanced efforts in Phase II, will again double the number of SMET degrees awarded to minority students, a figure that is quadruple the benchmark established in Phase I (750). In Phase I, we successfully focused on the critical transition points from high school-to-college and lower-division to upper-division status. In Phase II, we will enhance our program by increasing our attention on community colleges. Our specific objective is to dramatically improve SMET advising at the community college level by developing CSU/Community College advising teams and by developing and implementing strategies for institutionalizing the advising approaches developed by these teams. Twenty-four community colleges-with a total enrollment of more than 400,000 students-have been identified as active participants in this activity. In addition, we will create a large number of paid academic year research opportunities to provide junior- and senior-year students on-campus experiences that are directly related to their SMET goals. An important goal of Phase II is state-wide institutional reform. The CSU will join with the University of California AMP program (CAMP), to take a leadership role in developing intersegmental committees composed of faculty and administrators from the University of California, California State University, and California Community College systems. Examples of issues that these committees will address are: SMET advising, electronic transcript transfer from community colleges to CSUs and UCs, and mechanisms for sharing effective teaching strategies. The CSU AMP statewide Governi ng Board is composed of key leaders in K-12 education, higher education, and the private sector. It is chaired by the Chancellor of the CSU and oversees general projects operation and provides direction and assistance in broadening support for the Alliance among academic, industrial, and governmental sectors. The Chancellor of the CSU committed $800,000 per year in support of student stipends associated with the summerbridge, academic year workshop, and research opportunity components of Phase II. This commitment combined with the commitment of the 22 participating CSU and 25 Community College of $2 million/year, represents a 3-to-1 match of our requested support from the NSF.
