Washington Internships for Native Students - WINS 2013-2016

在美国大学华盛顿学期计划的主持下，为本土学生设立了华盛顿实习机会，该实习机会是为了响应白宫倡议而开发的，旨在帮助美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民（AI/NA/HN）学生发展必要的知识和领导技能，以提高他们为部落社区和国家做出贡献的潜力。 该计划拥有大量的AI/NA/HN学生，通过将实习与课程结合起来，并确保将主权国家和部落的传统价值观和实践纳入计划，重点关注体验式学习。 该公司将继续与美国国家科学基金会合作，为AI/NA/HN学生提供实习机会，这是一个在STEM劳动力中代表性不足的群体。预计作为这一努力的结果，NSF将作为一个渠道，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 The American University's Washington Semester Program, was developed in response to the White House Initiative to help American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian (AI/NA/HN) students develop knowledge and leadership skills necessary to enhance their potential to contribute to their tribal communities, and the nation. Having access to a significant pool of AI/NA/HN 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 incorporated in the program. WINS will continue to collaborate with the National Science Foundation to provide internship placements for AI/NA/HN students, a group 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.
