Minority Acces/Graduate Networking in the Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics (MAGNET-SEM)

纽约（CUNY）建议利用NSF/MGE计划增加黑人和拉丁裔学生在以下学科获得博士学位的人数：生物化学，生物学，化学，计算机科学，地球环境科学，工程学，数学，物理学和言语听力科学。这个拟议的项目，少数民族访问/研究生网络在科学，工程和数学（MAGNET-SEM），旨在扩展和评估招聘，保留和支持，有效地连接跨多校区系统的高等教育的多个层次的模型。该模式包括四个组成部分：（a）一个支持性的少数群体学者社区;（B）学术机会;（c）系统的教师和同行指导;（d）财政支持。在以往针对少数群体的方案的成功经验的基础上，该项目将在招聘和保留工作中结合联合收割机社会服务、学术和非学术类型的支持以及技术。学生的财政支持将是该项目、纽约市立大学系统和各学院共同努力的结果。参与教师和管理人员致力于早期准备，沟通网络，少数民族榜样，同行和教师指导的重要性。研究准备和财政支持对于发展少数民族学生的兴趣和将这些兴趣转化为成功完成学位也至关重要。

The City University of New York (CUNY) proposes to use the NSF/MGE Program to increase the number of Black and Latino students receiving doctoral degrees in the following disciplines: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth & Environmental Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and Speech & Hearing Science. This proposed project, Minority Access/Graduate Networking in Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics (MAGNET-SEM), seeks to extend and evaluate a model for recruitment, retention and support that effectively links multiple layers of higher education across a multi-campus system. Incorporated in the model are four components: a) a supportive community of minority scholars; b) academic opportunities; c) systematic faculty and peer mentoring; and d) financial support. Building on previous successful experiences with minority-targeted programs, the project will combine social services, academic and non-academic types of support, and technology in the recruitment and retention efforts. Financial support of students will be a shared effort among the project, the CUNY system, and the individual colleges. Participating faculty and administrators are committed to the importance of early preparation, a network of communication, minority role models, and peer and faculty mentoring. Research preparation and financial support are also critical for developing minority students' interests and for translating those interests into successful degree completion.
