Michigan Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

密歇根大学、西密歇根大学、密歇根州立大学和韦恩州立大学建议建立密歇根-路易斯少数民族参与联盟(MI-LSAMP)，以显著增加从我们的机构获得科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学士学位的学生的数量和质量，并增加对学术资格感兴趣并被研究生课程录取的人数不足的少数族裔(URM)学生的数量。MI-LSAMP合作伙伴被认为是密歇根州的旗舰机构，代表着全国公立博士生研究机构的多样性。虽然密歇根州立大学、密歇根州立大学、密歇根州立大学和密歇根州立大学都坚定地致力于增加学生群体的多样性和灵活性，并与彼此保持着长期的合作，但他们意识到，通过正式结盟将获得最大的收益。MI-LSAMP的实施不仅支持国家科学基金会的战略目标，帮助创造多样化、具有竞争力和全球参与的美国科学家、工程师、技术专家和准备充分的公民队伍，它还支持密歇根州樱桃高等教育和经济增长委员会设定的目标。MI-LSAMP的总体目标是：1.显著增加从MI-LSAMP合作伙伴那里获得学士学位的URM学生的数量。一项积极但平衡的计划已经制定，在5年内将获得STEM领域学士学位的URM学生的数量增加50%，在10年内增加100%。方案活动侧重于通过参加科学、工程和数学预科一年级方案、密歇根州本科生研究联盟赞助的研究项目、实习和合作项目以及住宿学习方案，增加对新生和转校生的招聘，并提高他们的毕业率。使MI-LSAMP战略和实践制度化。将对计划活动进行评估，并将其中最有效和最有效率的活动制度化，以努力在国家科学基金资助期之后保持获得STEM学位的多伦多大学学生数量的增长。此外，MI-LSAMP办公室、临时中心和学习中心将成为每个联盟校园的永久固定设施。项目的成功完成将使在密歇根州和全国范围内获得STEM领域学士学位的URM学生数量增加近50%。MI-LSAMP的最佳做法将具有采用吸引力，并可显著改善国家在提高STEM领域产量方面的努力。增加在STEM领域攻读高级学位的学生数量。MI-LSAMP将与密歇根AGEP联盟(MAA)合作，确保获得学士学位的学生为在STEM领域深造做好准备，并意识到他们有机会在STEM领域深造。该项目的智力优势和更广泛的影响不仅仅是增加STEM领域的URM学生数量和传播有效和高效的MI-LSAMP计划。MI-LSAMP将扩大到大学前社区的覆盖面，提高STEM专业的持久性，增加教师参与指导URM学生，促进密歇根高等教育机构教师之间的合作，并增加我们社区和劳动力的多样性。

The University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, Michigan StateUniversity and Wayne State University propose to establish the Michigan-Louis StokesAlliances for Minority Participation (MI-LSAMP) in order to significantly increase thequantity and improve the quality of students earning science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) baccalaureate degrees from our institutions, and increase thenumber of under-represented minority (URM) students interested in, academicallyqualified for and matriculated into graduate study programs. The MI-LSAMP partners arerecognized as isflagshipld institutions in the State of Michigan and represent the diversityof public Doctoral Research Extensive institutions in the nation. While the UM, MSU,WSU and WMU have demonstrated a deep commitment to increasing the diversity andexcellence of their student bodies and have had long-standing collaborations with oneanother, they realize that the greatest gains will be achieved by formally allying. Themission of the MI-LSAMP not only supports the National Science Foundations strategicgoal to help create ira diverse, competitive and globally-engaged U.S. workforce ofscientists, engineers, technologists, and well-prepared citizens,lr it supports goals set forthby the Michigans Cherry Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth.lnThe overall goals for the MI-LSAMP are to:1. Significantly increase the number of URM students earning baccalaureate degreesfrom MI-LSAMP partners. An aggressive but balanced plan has been devised toincrease the number of URM students earning baccalaureate degrees in STEM fieldsby 50% in 5 years, and 100% in 10 years. Programmatic activities focus onincreasing the recruitment of new and transfer URM students, and increasing theirgraduation rates as a consequence of participation in Science, Engineering and MathPre-First Year programs, research projects sponsored by the Michigan UndergraduateResearch Consortium, internships and co-ops, and residential learning programs.2. Institutionalize MI-LSAMP strategies and practices. Programmatic activities will beevaluated and the most effective and efficient of these will be institutionalized in aneffort to sustain, beyond the NSF funding period, growth in the number of URMstudents earning STEM degrees. In addition, MI-LSAMP offices, drop-in centers andlearning centers will become permanent fixtures on each of the alliance campuses.3. Contribute to a significant increase in the number of under-represented minoritystudents earning baccalaureate degrees in the State of Michigan and nationally.Successful completion of project will result in nearly a 50% increase in the number ofURM students earning baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields within the State ofMichigan. iiBest practicesla of the MI-LSAMP will be attractive for adoption andcould significantly improve national efforts to increase production in the STEMfields.4. Increase the number of students pursuing advanced degrees in STEM fields. The MI-LSAMP will collaborate with the Michigan AGEP Alliance (MAA), a recentlyestablished partnership of the same institutions, to ensure that students earningbaccalaureate degrees are prepared for, and aware of opportunities to pursueadvanced studies in STEM fields.The intellectual merit and broader impact of this project goes beyond increasing thenumber of URM students graduating in STEM fields and dissemination of effective andefficient MI-LSAMP programs. The MI-LSAMP will expand outreach to the pre-collegecommunity, increase the persistence of STEM majors, increase faculty involvement inmentoring URM students, promote collaboration among faculty at Michigan institutionsof higher education, and increase the diversity of our communities and workforce.
