SBE Alliance: University of California-Diversity Initiative for Graduate Study in the Social Sciences (UC-DIGSSS)

加州大学伯克利分校由加州大学伯克利分校圣巴巴拉分校组成的UC-DIGSSS联盟（加州大学社会科学研究生多样性倡议）获得了一笔为期三年的赠款，以完成一项试点项目，扩大未被充分代表的少数民族学生对社会科学的参与。UC-DIGSSS的目标不仅是增加未被充分代表的少数民族学生的数量，而且还要帮助改变学院的文化，使制度环境对未被充分代表的少数民族更有吸引力。加州大学社会科学与社会服务学院与学院院长、系主任、研究生导师和教职员工密切合作，启动了一系列新项目，招收和留住社会和行为科学研究生项目中代表性不足的少数民族学生。自这项资助开始以来，这三个校区就读社会科学研究生课程的学生人数都有所增加。UC-DIGSS在更广泛的研究生教育和教授联盟（AGEP）社区中发挥作用。SBE教师和学生的加入扩大了AGEP社区的学科范围，产生了关于社会和机构中不平等的起源和后果的更明智的对话，丰富了项目的社会和教育背景。UC-DIGSSS将继续在初步成功的基础上向前迈进：与msi（少数族裔服务机构）建立合作伙伴关系，通过与管理、教职员工等msi建立纵向关系，增加申请人数量……在研究生项目的早期阶段（前三年），为未被充分代表的少数族裔学生提供一对一的研究培训，以帮助他们培养研究技能，并在项目早期与教师导师建立牢固的联系。通过关注社区建设和为研究生研究提供支持，包括为导师提供资金，写作改进研讨会，专业会议出席，实地研究和硕士考试支持，提高留级率。该项目的主要影响是创造协同效应，不仅在联盟校园内，而且在全国范围内，扩大未被充分代表的学生在SBE领域的参与。要做到这一点，需要在学院内部就种族化的身份和做法进行更有见地的对话，并开展合作努力，以增加申请人数量，留住更多获得社会科学博士学位的学生。

SES-0750704Jon GjerdeGloria ChunAngela JamesBeth SchneiderUniversity of California, BerkeleyA three-year grant was provided to the UC-DIGSSS Alliance (University of California Diversity Initiative for Graduate Study in the Social Sciences)comprised of the University of California at Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, to complete a pilot program to broaden the participation of underrepresented minority students into the social sciences. The aim of UC-DIGSSS is not only to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority students, but also to help transform the culture of the academy so that institutional environments are more attractive to underrepresented minorities. UC-DIGSS has worked closely with divisional deans, department chairs, graduate advisors and faculty to initiate a series of new programs to recruit and retain underrepresented minority students in graduate programs in the social and behavioral sciences. All three campuses have experienced increased in the number of students matriculated in social science graduate programs since the onset of the grant. UC-DIGSS plays a role within the broader Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) community. The incorporation of SBE faculty and students has broadened the disciplinary scope of AGEP community, generating a more informed dialogue about the origins and consequences of inequalities in societies and institutions and enriching the social and educational context of programs. UC-DIGSSS, will continue to build on initial successes and move forward to: . Form partnerships with MSIs (minority-serving institutions) to increase the applicant pool, by developing longitudinal relationships with MSIs across administration, faculty, and staff... Mentor underrepresented minority students with one-on-one research traineeships with faculty in the early stages (first three years) of the graduate program in order to help build research skills and to create strong bonds with faculty mentors early in their program.. Improve retention by focusing on community building and creating support for graduate student research, including funding for tutors, writing improvement workshops, professional conference attendance, field research, and master's exam support. The major broader impact of this program is the creation of synergy to broaden participation of underrepresented students in SBE fields not only within alliance campuses, but across the nation. This will be done by fostering a more informed dialogue about racialized identities and practices within the academy and forging collaborative efforts to increase the applicant pool and retain a greater number of students matriculating with doctorates in the social sciences.
