CO-AMP Phase III

A-1Louis Stokes科罗拉多少数民族参与联盟CO-AMP第三阶段项目摘要科罗拉多州立大学(CSU)与科罗拉多大学博尔德分校、路易斯堡学院、普韦布洛科罗拉多州立大学、丹佛市州立学院、科罗拉多斯普林斯科罗拉多大学、丹佛科罗拉多大学、科罗拉多矿业学院、亚当斯州立学院、特里纳德州立大学、普韦布洛社区学院、Din学院、AIMS社区学院、四个部落国家和工业界合作，组成了1995/96年成立的CO-AMP联盟。该联盟提议的COAMP第三阶段将全面努力解决以下与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科代表不足的学生有关的活动：招聘、保留和领导能力计划纵向跟踪暑期外展计划研究生入学机会LS CO-AMP第三阶段提案的主要目标是继续增加在科罗拉多州成功完成STEM学科学士学位的有基金代表的少数族裔学生的数量。CO-AMP第三阶段将在始于1995年的LS CO-AMP的势头和成功的基础上再接再厉。在参与院校攻读STEM本科学位课程的人数不足的学生(西班牙裔、非裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民)将从拟议的活动中受益匪浅。该联盟的努力将从一年级前的水平延伸到研究生课程的入学。自1995年以来，CO-AMP联盟一直是相关机构的主要推动力，旨在鼓励和激励学生在STEM领域取得学士学位并脱颖而出。在参与院校中，不同学生的入学人数和知名度都有所增加，这从LS CO-AMP自成立以来增加了68%的入学人数中可见一斑。学生在各自学科的表现得到了极大的提高。除了国家科学基金会提供的大量支持外，中央管理部门、联合体机构、工业和科罗拉多理工学院的部门和学院也提供了大量的支持。非常重要的是，联盟机构的教职员工提供了必要的支持，如果没有这些支持，LS CO-AMP的活动就不可能如此成功。预计联合AMP参与机构、行业、部落议会和科罗拉多州高等教育委员会将在2006年至2011年期间继续支持该项目。这个联盟的成功将继续与全国其他LS AMP分享。此外，CO-AMP将与研究生教育联盟和教授联盟(AGEP)合作，将更多代表性不足的学生安排在STEM研究生学习中。通过将联盟机构和合作伙伴的资源联系起来，并通过持续努力从所有可用的来源筹集资金，LS CO-AMP将继续推动其在联盟机构内开发的成功项目的制度化。这对于确保这些项目给学生带来的好处在NSF的资金不再可用后继续下去是至关重要的。智慧精英科罗拉多LS CO AMP正在寻求继续增加STEM学科毕业的未被充分代表的未充分代表的毕业生的数量。此外，LS CO-AMP第三阶段正在计划招收代表不足(UREP)学生进入研究生院，以确保未来STEM研究生学科中少数族裔学生的比例保持平衡。在第三阶段，该联盟将致力于在NSF资金到期后将其计划活动制度化并持续下去。LS CO-AMP在第一阶段和第二阶段取得了相当大的成功，在拟议的LSCO-AMP第三阶段项目中，财团的成功将进一步扩大。与科罗拉多州高等教育委员会、立法机构和国会代表预期的成功合作，将加强LS CO-AMP在科罗拉多州的可持续性。广泛影响通过评估LS CO-AMP的活动，以及LS CO-AMP与其他联盟如AGEP、McNair奖学金计划和落基山中学数学科学伙伴关系的合作，LS CO AMP计划提高对文化差异的认识和必要的制度变革，以在NSF资金到期后积极维持对UREP STEM本科生和研究生的支持。此外，第三阶段计划和活动的结果将大大增加对UREPI学生在研究生和本科STEM学科中的问题和挑战的了解。第三阶段的重点是继续第一阶段和第二阶段的培训和保留活动，以及招收本科生进入研究生院。这种对研究生教育的承诺将产生更多的UREP STEM教员，他们反过来将有助于将更多不同的学生带到课堂上。它还将实现有效和可持续的体制变革，以增强科技、经济和经济领域的多样性。此外，这种多样化的承诺将改善科罗拉多州和全国范围内UREP学生的整体环境。

A-1Louis Stokes Colorado Alliance for Minority ParticipationCO-AMP Phase III Project SummaryColorado State University (CSU) in collaboration with the University of Colorado at Boulder, Fort LewisCollege, Colorado State University at Pueblo, Metropolitan State College of Denver, the University of Colorado atColorado Springs, the University of Colorado at Denver, Colorado School of Mines, Adams State College, TrinidadState Junior College, Pueblo Community College, Din College, AIMS Community College, four tribal nations, andindustry constitute part of the CO-AMP consortium that was formed in 1995/96. The consortium is proposing COAMPPhase III that will undertake a comprehensive effort to address the following activities in connection withunder-represented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines:Recruitment, retention & leadership programs Longitudinal trackingSummer outreach programs Graduate school placementThe primary goal of the LS CO-AMP Phase III Proposal is to continue increasing the number ofunderrepresented minority students successfully completing baccalaureates degrees in STEM disciplines inColorado.Phase III of CO-AMP will build upon the momentum and the success of LS CO-AMP, which began in1995. The underrepresented students (Hispanic, African American, Native American, and Pacific Islanders) who areenrolled in the undergraduate STEM degree programs at the participating institutions will benefit greatly from theproposed activities. The efforts of the Consortium will extend from the pre-freshmen level to enrollment in graduateschool programs. The CO-AMP consortium has been the major driving force at the institutions involved since 1995to encourage and motivate students to excel and graduate with a B.S. degree in the STEM fields. The enrollment andvisibility of diverse students has increased at the participating institutions which is demonstrated by the 68%increase in the LS CO-AMP enrollment since its inception. Student performance in their respective disciplines hasimproved tremendously. A significant level of support, in addition to that from the NSF, has been provided by thecentral administrations, the Departments and Colleges of the Consortium institutions, Industry, and the ColoradoInstitute of Technology. Very importantly, the faculty and staff members of the Consortium institutions haveprovided essential support without which the activities of LS CO-AMP could not have been so successful. CO-AMPparticipating institutions, industry, tribal councils and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education are expectedto continue their support of the project from 2006 to 2011. The success of this consortium will continue to be sharedwith the other LS AMPs in the nation. In addition, CO-AMP will work with the Alliance for Graduate Educationand the Professoriate (AGEP) to place more underrepresented students in STEM graduate studies.By linking the resources of the Consortium institutions and partners and by continuing ongoing efforts tosolicit funding from all available sources, LS CO-AMP will continue to promote institutionalizing the successfulprograms it has developed within the Consortium institutions. This is essential to assure that the benefits tostudents, which occur from these programs, continue after funding from the NSF is no longer available.Intellectual MeritColorado LS CO AMP is looking to continue increasing the number of underrepresented undergraduatestudents graduating with a Bachelors Degree in STEM disciplines. In addition, LS CO-AMP Phase III is planningto matriculate underrepresented (UREP) students into graduate school to ensure a future balance of therepresentation of minority students in STEM graduate disciplines. During Phase III, the Consortium will worktoward institutionalizing and sustaining its program activities after the NSF Funding expires. LS CO-AMP has hadconsiderable success during Phase I and II, and the Consortiums success will be amplified during the proposed LSCO-AMP Phase III project. The anticipated successful collaboration with the Colorado Commission on HigherEducation, the legislature, and congressional representatives, will strengthen the sustainability of LS CO-AMP in theState of Colorado.Broader ImpactThrough the assessment of the activities and the collaboration of LS CO-AMP with other alliances such asAGEP, McNair Scholarships Program, and Rocky Mountain Middle School Math Science Partnership, LS CO AMPplans to increase awareness of cultural differences and necessary institutional changes to positively sustain supportof UREP STEM undergraduate and graduate students after NSF funding expires. Moreover, the results of the PhaseIII programs and activities will add substantially to the understanding of the issues and the challenges of UREPstudents in graduate and undergraduate STEM disciplines. The focus of LS CO-AMP Phase III is to continue therecruitment and the retention activities of Phase I and Phase II, as well as to matriculate the UREP undergraduatestudents into graduate school. This commitment to graduate education will produce more UREP STEM facultymembers who, in turn, will help in bringing more diverse students to the classroom. It will also enable effective andsustainable institutional transformation to enhance diversity in STEM disciplines. In addition, this diversitycommitment will improve the overall climate for UREP students in the State of Colorado and nationwide.
