The University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

德克萨斯大学系统少数民族参与联盟（UT-SystemAMP）将德克萨斯大学系统的所有九个学术组成部分和十个区域社区学院合作伙伴聚集在一起，努力增加未被充分代表的少数民族学生和来自其他服务不足人群的学生注册并从科学，数学，工程和技术以及进入ut系统大学的SMET领域的研究生课程。ut系统AMP的活动得到了与工业和政府机构，特别是国家实验室的伙伴关系的支持。该联盟的教育机构服务于一个迅速发展的地区，到本十年结束时，少数民族将占人口的大多数。在这些机构中，美国的机构最为突出。边境地区为大量西班牙裔学生提供服务，而大都市地区主要为通勤学生提供服务，其中包括许多少数民族。在整个系统内，ut系统高度重视提高本科生的保留率，并为这些本科生进入SMET的研究生课程提供更多机会。这项建议还强调为实现这些目标而在全系统范围内共享资源。在第三阶段，德克萨斯大学少数民族参与系统联盟致力于实现以下目标：1)到2008年秋季，UT-System LSAMP大学将招收至少200名未被充分代表的少数民族和其他服务不足的学生参加他们的STEM博士课程，比2000年秋季的基线增加了大约100%。2)UT-System AMP大学将继续努力实现第二阶段的目标，即至少毕业1374名未被充分代表的少数民族和其他服务不足的学生，获得SMET学士学位。据估计，到2006年我们将实现这一目标。一旦实现，这将比1991-1992年基线增加244%。LSAMP项目活动将集中在三个主要领域：(1)通过在所有合作机构制定战略来留住STEM专业的学生，以解决SMET二年级学生的留住问题；(2)为有兴趣攻读更高学位的STEM专业学生提供指导和职业发展机会。活动将包括在每个合作院校举办GRE研讨会和职业发展/指导活动；(3)夏季研究学院，即将升学的大三和大四学生将有机会在联盟五个博士授予机构之一的研究实验室工作。学生将获得津贴支持、指导和培训。UT-System LSAMP永久性地改变了德克萨斯州smet高等教育的性质。通过ut系统的LSAMP，参与的大学提高了知名度，提高了校长、校长和首席学术官对SMET项目成果和代表性不足的少数民族学生状况的认识。领导德克萨斯大学系统少数民族参与联盟的将是一个管理委员会，由德克萨斯大学系统执行副校长Ed Sharpe担任主席，该委员会包括德克萨斯大学系统成员机构和参与社区学院的校长、副校长或教务长，以及一些来自工业界和国家研发界的专家。管理委员会每年召开一次会议，将继续对ut系统AMP进行总体监督。学术领导委员会（ALC）由院长、主席和杰出的教师组成，参与其机构AMP活动的实施。律协委员会召开两次会议

The University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority ParticipationThe University of Texas System Alliance for Minority Participation (UT-SystemAMP) brings together all nine academic components of The University of Texas Systemand ten regional community college partners in an effort to increase the number of under-represented minority students and students from other under-served populations enrolling in and graduating from baccalaureate programs in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology and entering graduate programs in SMET fields at UT-System universities.The activities of the UT-System AMP are supported by partnerships with industry andgovernment agencies, particularly national laboratories. The educational institutions in the Alliance serve a rapidly growing region, where by the decade's end minorities will comprise a majority of the population. Prominent among the institutions are those in theU.S.-Mexico Border regions serving large numbers of Hispanic students and those in metropolitan areas serving mainly commuter students,including many minorities. TheUT-System places a high degree of importance, system-wide, on improving retentionamong undergraduates and providing enhanced opportunities for these undergraduates to enter graduate programs in SMET. This proposal also emphasizes the system-widesharing of resources to attain these goals.In Phase III, the University of Texas System Alliance for Minority Participation is committed to achieving the following objectives: 1) The UT-System LSAMP universities will enroll a minimum of 200 under-represented minority and other under-served student in their STEM doctoral programs by the fall of 2008, an increase of about 100% over the fall 2000 baseline and 2) The UT-System AMP universities will continue to work towardsthe Phase II goal of graduating a minimum of 1,374 under-represented minority and other under-served students with B.S. degrees in SMET. It is estimated that we will achieve thisgoal by 2006. When achieved, this will represent a 244% increase over 1991-1992 baseline.LSAMP program activities will focus on three major areas: (1) retention of students whoare STEM majors through the development of strategies at all partner institutions to address retention of second year students in SMET; (2) mentoring and career developmentopportunities for STEM majors interested in pursuing an advanced degree. Activities willinclude the development of GRE workshops and career development/mentoring activities ateach partner institution; and (3) a summer research academy where rising junior and senior students will have the opportunity to work in a research laboratory at one of the fivedoctoral-granting institutions in the alliance. Students will receive stipend support, mentoring and training. The UT-System LSAMP has permanently changing the nature ofSMET higher education in Texas.Through the UT-System LSAMP, the participating universities have raised the visibility and increased the awareness of the chancellor, presidents and chief academic officers about SMET program outcomes and the status of under-represented minoritystudents. Providing leadership to the UT-System Alliance for Minority Participation will be a Governing Board, chaired by Ed Sharpe, Executive Vice Chancellor of The University of Texas System, which includes presidents, vice-presidents, or provostsof UT-System member institutions and participating community colleges as well as a selected number of experts from industry and the national R&D community. Meeting annually, the GoverningBoard will continue to provide general oversight of the UT-System AMP. The AcademicLeadership Council (ALC), composed of deans, chairs and distinguished faculty are involvedin the implementation of AMP activities at their institution. The ALC meets twice
