PARTNERS FOR SUCCESS: Building Partnerships to Increase Success of Underrepresented Minorities in Physics

得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)这一名为成功的伙伴：建立伙伴关系以增加代表不足的少数族裔在物理学领域的成功的规划项目正在开发一种创新的模式，以吸引、留住和弥合代表不足的少数族裔学生进入物理学研究生院。该项目旨在发展少数族裔服务机构(MSI)和学位授予机构之间的伙伴关系。主要想法是在参与机构之间建立一个结构良好的指导和支持模式，并将其制度化，以产生可持续的影响。我们关注的是学生从毕业前到毕业后的脚步。该项目寻求首先吸引学生进入该学科，然后在MSI为他们提供有效的指导和丰富的研究机会。然后与授予博士学位的机构合作，帮助学生克服在获得物理学博士学位方面面临的挑战。尽管这一模式将在西班牙裔服务机构UTEP实施，但由于其可转移性，它有可能影响全国未被充分代表的少数族裔学生。

This planning project entitled PARTNERS FOR SUCCESS: Building Partnerships to Increase Success of Underrepresented Minorities in Physics at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is developing an innovative model to attract, retain, and bridge underrepresented minority students to graduate school in physics. The project aims to develop partnerships between Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and degree granting institutions. The main idea is to develop a well-structured mentoring and support model between the participating institutions that will be institutionalized for sustainable impact. Attention is paid to the students' steps of the path, from pre to post baccalaureate. The project seeks to first attract students to the discipline and then provide them with effective mentoring and a wealth of research opportunities at the MSI. Then in partnership with doctoral degree granting institutions, students are assisted in overcoming the challenges they face in obtaining a doctoral degree in physics. Although this model will be implemented at the UTEP, a Hispanic Serving Institution, it has the potential to impact underrepresented minority students throughout the nation due to its transferability.
