American University Washington Internships for Native Students (WINS)

华盛顿原住民学生实习计划是在美国大学S华盛顿学期计划的支持下建立的，是为了响应白宫的倡议而开发的，该计划旨在帮助美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民学生发展必要的知识和领导技能，以增强他们为保留地社区和国家做出贡献的潜力。该项目拥有大量的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民学生，通过将实习与课程作业相结合，并确保主权国家和部落的传统价值观和做法融入该项目，专注于体验式学习。WINS将继续与国家科学基金会合作，为美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民学生提供实习机会，这两个学生在STEM劳动力中的比例严重不足。预计这一努力的结果是，NSF将成为一个渠道，扩大这一代表性不足的群体的参与，并使未来的STEM企业多样化，这是保持美国在全球环境中竞争力所必需的。

The Washington Internship for Native Students, established under the auspices of American University?s Washington Semester Program, was developed in response to the White House Initiative to help American Indian and Alaskan Native students develop knowledge and leadership skills necessary to enhance their potential to contribute to their communities on reservations, and the nation. Having access to a significant pool of American Indian and Alaskan Native students, the program focuses on experiential learning by coupling internships with coursework and ensuring that traditional values and practices of sovereign nations and tribes are intermingled in the program. WINS will continue to collaborate with the National Science Foundation to provide internship placements for American Indian and Alaskan Native students, a group of students sorely under-represented in the STEM workforce. It is anticipated as a result of this effort, the NSF will serve as a conduit to broaden participation of this under-represented group, and diversify the future STEM enterprise, needed to keep the US competitive in a global environment.
