Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation

威斯康星州少数民族参与联盟(WiscAMP)代表着威斯康星州各地的17个学士学位？]授予和17个2？]年制校园。WiscAMP的总体目标是将在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域获得学士学位的少数民族学生(URM)人数增加一倍。该联盟的总体目标如下：1)在联盟中的每一所院校建立全面的项目，支持和维持STEM专业的URM学生。2)发展两年制和四年制院校之间的合作伙伴关系，使学生能够无缝地从一所院校转到另一所院校。3)提高教职员工对阻碍URM学生留在STEM专业或进入STEM专业的障碍的认识。4)提高URM学生在STEM专业的总体保留率，特别是在一年级和二年级之间。5)减少STEM专业URM学生的毕业时间。该联盟将追求以下四个目标：1.扩展、扩大和维持在STEM教育过程中支持学生的活动。该联盟打算制定全面的计划，在学生进入该机构后以及在他们的STEM教育过程中为他们提供支持。2.延长、扩大和保持两年和四年制校园之间的合作伙伴关系？]为STEM学科的URM学生培养联系。根据以前的结果，WiscAMP将建立和扩大合作，帮助学生从一个机构转移到另一个机构。3.加强联盟？]广泛的活动，建立和维持机构内部和机构之间的关系。伙伴机构建议通过加强和扩大广泛的联盟活动来建立更牢固的关系。4.继续收集为方案工作提供信息和指导的数据。收集、分析和展示有关我们联盟的数据本身就具有变革性，因此该联盟将继续收集汇总数据，以改进评估过程。智力上的功绩。WiscAMP在最初的4年里一直在建立合作伙伴关系，并建立流程，以便在地理位置分散、使命驱动的组织之间进行沟通和协作。根据先前的结果，中层WiscAMP建议支持、加强和扩大基于证据的做法，以减少流失率和毕业时间。这个中级阶段的一个主要优先事项是减少一年级和二年级之间的流失率，并增加URM毕业生升入教授的数量。WiscAMP将支持对URM学生的个人教育和联盟学校的创新计划，以实现其目标。短期结果将是，从WiscAMP合作学校获得STEM专业学位的学生中，种族/民族多样性将增加。长期的结果将是STEM的学术和政府领导人之间更大的种族和种族多样性。WiscAMP在增加URM STEM毕业生数量方面可以为其他州提供借鉴。

The Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation (WiscAMP) represents 17-bachelor degree?]granting and 17 two?]year campuses located throughout the State of Wisconsin. The overall goal for WiscAMP is to double the number of underrepresented minority students (URM) who graduate with bachelor degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The overall goals for this alliance are as follows 1) To establish comprehensive programs that support and sustain URM students in STEM disciplines at each of the institutions in the alliance. 2) To develop partnerships between two and four year institutions that allows students to move seamlessly from one institution to another. 3) Increase the faculty and staff understanding of the barriers keeping URM students from staying in or moving through STEM majors. 4) To increase the overall rate of retention of URM students in STEM disciplines, especially between the freshman and sophomore years.5) Decrease the amount of time to graduation for URM students in STEM. This alliance will pursue the following four objectives: 1. Extend, expand, and maintain activities that support students throughout their STEM education. This alliance intends to develop comprehensive programs that support students upon entry into the institution and throughout their STEM education. 2. Extend, expand, and maintain partnerships between two and four?]year campuses that foster connections for URM students in STEM disciplines. Based on prior results the WiscAMP will build upon and expand collaborations that assist in the transfer of students from one institution to another. 3. Strengthen alliance?]wide activities that create and sustain relationships within and between institutions. The partner institutions are proposing to build stronger relationships by reinforcing and expanding alliance?]wide activities. 4. Continue to collect data that informs and guides programmatic efforts. Collecting, analyzing, and presenting data about our alliance is in itself transformative therefore this alliance will continue to collect aggregate data for the improvement of the evaluation process. Intellectual Merit. WiscAMP spent the first 4 years forging partnerships and establishing processes for communication and collaboration across geographically dispersed and mission?]driven organizations. Based on prior results the Mid-level WiscAMP is proposes to support, strengthen and expand evidence?]based practices known to reduce the rate of attrition and time to graduation. A major priority for this Mid-level phase is reducing the rate of attrition between freshman and sophomore year and increasing the number of URM graduates progressing toward the professoriate.Broader Impacts. WiscAMP will support both education of individual URM students and innovative programs at alliance schools to meet its goals. The short-term outcome will be an increase in the racial/ethnic diversity of students graduating with degrees in STEM majors from WiscAMP partner schools. The long-term outcome will be greater ethnic and racial diversity among academic and government leaders in STEM. WiscAMP could serve as model for other states in increasing the number of URM STEM graduates.
