LSAMP

花园州-路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（GS-LSAMP）将汇集来自新泽西高度城市化东北部的所有主要学院和大学，使STEM学科中代表性不足的少数民族的毕业生人数在5年内翻一番。 联盟成员将使用？最佳实践？其他LSAMP？我们的目标是提供创新技术，以最好地满足学生的学术和社会需求，并改变这些学生对STEM职业的态度。 在大学一级，STEM领域的三个有据可查的流失原因将成为目标：学术支持，财政需求和社会支持。 GS-LSAMP将包括罗格斯大学纽瓦克（#1全国多样性）与罗格斯-新不伦瑞克大学，蒙特克莱尔州立大学，基恩大学，威廉帕特森大学，泽西城大学（HSI），费尔利迪金森大学，布卢姆菲尔德学院和埃塞克斯县学院使用创新的？轴辐式？具有北方、中部和南部群集的模型。 每个集群将开发独立和多功能的子社区，在更大的LSAMP社区内拥有大量的学生和教师。 GS-LSAMP将创建一个强大的协作学习社区，通过共享？最佳实践？in teaching教学and learning学习in STEM领域. GS-LSAMP还将通过GS-LSAMP学者和这些机构的学生之间的一对一互动影响当地高中和社区学院社区。 一个？网络社区将使用创新和本地测试的软件和技术创建。 随着人口密集和与公众互动的机会丰富，服务学习将是GS-LSAMP学者的重要选择，该地区有STEM需求的许多行业之间的实习/实习也是如此。 智力优势：该项目能够通过社会和学术网络，为GS-LSAMP学者、教授和研究生创造一个联盟内部和联盟内部的大学环境。即将入学的学生将在夏桥体验中适应大学生活，其中包括通过一对一辅导增强的密集学术研讨会，学术技能研讨会，职业发展研讨会和个人发展咨询。学术支持，包括辅导，咨询和指导将持续整个学年。GS-LSAMP学者将获得支持和鼓励，与STEM教师和研究生进行研究。他们将在定期会议和研讨会上与GS-LSAMP同行分享他们的研究，这也将提供面对面的机会来建立友谊和支持网络，补充网络社交网络社区。更广泛的影响：花园LSAMP有可能形成一个学术和社会支持网络，为有兴趣攻读STEM学位并最终在STEM领域从事职业的年轻学者提供支持。开发的社交网络软件将提供给所有LSAMP联盟。这个网络将提高谁在干学科专业的学生的机会意识，并将导致在代表性不足的新泽西学生有志于干相关领域的数量整体增加。作为GS-LSAMP联盟成员的学校将获得更多样化的学生群体，他们具有高毕业率和成功的研究生职业生涯。

The Garden State-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (GS-LSAMP) will bring together all of the major colleges and universities from the highly urbanized northeastern part of New Jersey to double the number of graduates from underrepresented minority groups in STEM disciplines in 5 years. The Alliance members will use the ?best practices? of other LSAMP?s as well as innovative techniques to best address the academic and social needs of the students and to change the attitude of these students towards STEM careers. Three well-documented causes of attrition in STEM fields at the university level will be targeted: academic support, financial need and social support. The GS-LSAMP will include Rutgers University-Newark (#1 nationally in diversity) in consortium with Rutgers-New Brunswick, Montclair State University, Kean University, William Paterson University, New Jersey City University (HSI), Fairleigh Dickinson University, Bloomfield College, and Essex County College using an innovative ?hub and spoke? model with northern, central, and southern clusters. Each cluster will develop independent and versatile sub-communities with critical masses of students and faculty within the larger LSAMP community. The GS-LSAMP will create a robust Collaborative Learning Community with outreach beyond the Alliance to impact local community colleges and urban school districts through the sharing of ?best practices? in teaching and learning in STEM fields. The GS-LSAMP will also impact local high school and community college communities through one-on-one interactions among GS-LSAMP Scholars and the students in those institutions. A ?cybercommunity? will be created using innovative and locally tested software and techniques. With the dense population and abundance of opportunities to interact with the public, service learning will be an important option for GS-LSAMP Scholars, as will internships/externships among the many industries with STEM needs in the area. There will also be both real and virtual international components.Intellectual Merit: The ability of the project to create, through social and academic networking, a collegial inter- and intra-Alliance environment for the GS-LSAMP Scholars, professors and graduate students. Incoming students will acculturate to college life in a Summer Bridge experience that includes intensive academic workshops augmented by one-to-one tutoring, Academic Skills Seminars, Career Development workshops, and personal development advising. Academic support, including tutoring, advising and mentoring will continue throughout the academic year. The GS-LSAMP Scholars will receive support and encouragement to conduct research with STEM faculty and graduate students. They will share their research with their GS-LSAMP peers in periodic meetings and seminars, which will also provide face-to-face opportunities to build friendships and support networks, that supplement the cyber social networking community. Broader Impact: The GARDEN-LSAMP has the potential to form a network of academic and social support for young scholars interested in pursuing STEM degrees and ultimately careers in STEM fields. The social networking software developed will be made available to all LSAMP alliances. This network will enhance the awareness of the opportunities for students who major in STEM disciplines and will lead to an overall increase in the numbers of underrepresented New Jersey students aspiring to STEM-related fields. The schools that are members of the GS-LSAMP alliance will gain a more diverse group of students with high graduation rates and successful post-graduate careers.
