GSE/DIS: Effective Strategies to Diversify Academic STEM

新墨西哥州立大学正在召集来自四所卡内基博士/研究大学广泛机构的顶尖学术管理人员，这些机构也是少数族裔服务机构(MSI)和/或预付资金机构。管理人员工作组将制作一份出版物，暂定标题为“使学术STEM多样化的有效战略”和一份Powerpoint演示文稿。这些产品将以方便、高效的形式综合关于性别、种族/族裔和科学技术的丰富文献，为招收和留住不同的学生和教师--特别是妇女和少数群体--提供具体战略。出版和演示文稿将在为期一年的写作项目中完成。管理人员将学习关于高等教育多样性的最新研究，然后组成写作小组，为2005年夏天的一次静修式会议做准备。传播工作将通过三种方式完成：1.所有与会者同意在2006年历年期间在各自领域的会议上发言。该出版物将发送给所有151个卡内基博士/研究大学广泛机构的校长、校长和院长。NMSU Advance网站www.nmsu.edu/~Advprog将提供这些文件的pdf版本。智慧的功绩院长和系主任在推动学术界的制度变革方面发挥着关键作用。这些级别的领导者必须通过制定策略，鼓励教职员工按照这些目标和目标行事，从而将上级政府(包括董事会等管理机构)制定的机构的广泛目标和目标转化为具体成果。该项目强调不同的管理人员和合作个人之间的沟通，以教育彼此-然后是他们的国家同行-关于如何使STEM领域多样化，特别是在教授中。广泛的影响最终，该项目寻求在参与机构内部和所有151个美国卡内基博士/研究大学广泛的机构中带来变化。编制的信息将在20个或更多不同学科--包括高等教育管理以及科学和工程学科--的会议上介绍，向广大受众提供基于研究的具体信息和战略，说明如何在各级学术界招聘和留住科学和工程领域的妇女和少数群体。

New Mexico State University is assembling leading academic administrators from four Carnegie Doctoral/Research University Extensive institutions that are also either a minority serving institution (MSI) and/or an ADVANCE-funded institution. The working team of administrators will produce a publication tentatively titled "Effective Strategies to Diversify Academic STEM" and a Powerpoint presentation. These products will synthesize, in an accessible, efficient format the rich literature on gender, race/ethnicity and science and technology to provide concrete strategies for recruiting and retaining diverse students and faculty-especially women and minorities. The publication and presentation will be produced over the course of a one-year writing project. Administrators will learn current research on diversity in higher education and then form writing groups in preparation for a retreat-style conference in Summer, 2005. Dissemination will be accomplished in three ways:1. All participants will agree to make presentations at a conference in their field during the 2006 calendar year.2. The publication will be sent to the presidents, provosts and deans at all 151 Carnegie Doctoral/Research University Extensive institutions.3. The NMSU ADVANCE web site, www.nmsu.edu/~advprog, will provide pdf versions of the documents.Intellectual MeritDeans and department heads play a critical role in bringing about institutional change within academia. Leaders at these levels must translate the broad goals and objectives of the institution framed by higher administration (including governing bodies like boards of regents) into concrete outcomes by developing strategies to encourage faculty members to behave in accordance with those goals and objectives. The project emphasizes communication among a diverse group of administrators and co-PIs to educate each other-and then their national peers-about how to diversify STEM fields, especially among the professoriate.Broader ImpactsUltimately, the project seeks to bring about changes within the participating institutions and at all 151 U.S. Carnegie Doctoral/Research University Extensive institutions. Information developed will be presented at 20 or more conferences in various disciplines-including higher education administration, and science and engineering disciplines-reaching broad audiences with concrete research-based information and strategies about how to recruit and retain women and minorities in science and engineering at all levels of academia.
