Targeted Infusion Project Grant: Application of Lessons from Model Institutions for Excellence (ALEMIE): A Comprehensive Support for Minority Students at Elizabeth City State Unive

伊丽莎白城州立大学定向输液项目的总体目标是解决生物学入门课程学生的高流失率问题。这一努力将通过利用全面留住学生的方法来实现，该方法依赖于几项战略，包括评估提高非裔美国学生成功的最佳做法、实施最佳做法、实施具有针对性的指导的大学前倡议、带有批判性思维成分的暑期桥梁计划以及作为电子学习前奏的在线体验。所有这些战略都通过与罗格斯大学战略发展的伙伴关系得到加强，这种伙伴关系有意义地包括学习和教育项目评估专业知识，特别是与非裔美国学生有关的专业知识。预计这一项目的成果将从是否容易转移到研究密集型机构的角度进行分析。在这方面，伊丽莎白城州立大学的定向灌输项目不仅将影响该机构，还将影响非HBCU校园，从而影响更广泛的未被充分代表的少数族裔学生。

The overall goal of the targeted infusion project at Elizabeth City State University is to address the high rate of attrition of students from introductory biology courses. This effort will be achieved by utilizing a holistic approach to student retention that relies on several strategies including evaluation of best practices that enhance African American student success, implementation of best practices, implementation of a pre-college initiative with targeted mentoring, a summer bridge program with a critical thinking component and online experiences as a prelude for e-learning. All of these strategies are reinforced through a strategically developed partnership with Rutgers University that meaningfully includes learning and education program evaluation expertise, particularly as it relates to African American students. It is envisaged that the outcomes of this project will be analyzed in terms of the ease of transferability to a research intensive institution. In this regard, the targeted infusion project at Elizabeth City State University will not only impact the institution, but also impact non-HBCU campuses and, therefore, a broader cadre of underrepresented minority students.
