NSF INCLUDES: Building upon CAHSI's Success to Establish a Networked Community for Broadening Participation of Hispanics in Graduate Studies

来自公共和私营部门的机构和组织的伙伴关系，所有这些机构和组织都在推动西班牙裔高等教育方面有着既定的记录，将在美国各地区形成一个网络社区，其中有大量的西班牙裔人口，共同适应和采用经过验证的做法，并将其应用于整个两年制学院和学士学位，硕士和博士学位授予大学的高等教育系统。 该合作伙伴关系建立在成功的NSF资助的西班牙裔服务机构计算联盟（CAHSI）的基础上，该联盟已成为全国计算机研究生学习，工业和教授的重要新招聘渠道。 尽管西班牙裔人口在全国已达到17%，但在2012-2013年，全国只有4%的STEM硕士和3%的STEM博士学位授予西班牙裔。实现平等的迫切需要是显而易见的。这项工作的共同目的和大胆愿景是实现完成基于计算的研究生课程的西班牙裔人数的平等。 重点将是针对有才华的学生在西班牙裔服务机构（HSIs）谁，由于各种原因，不选择继续在干教育和职业途径池。这些努力将集中在将西班牙裔学生从副学士学位课程过渡到学士学位课程，以及从学士学位课程过渡到学士学位课程该项目将建立一个共同的议程，指导集体影响的愿景和战略，进行数据收集以纵向跟踪学生在校园内的流动，并启动多地点试点，以测试全面计划和变革进程的可行性。虽然先前的研究已经确定了提高代表性不足的少数民族的研究生课程完成率的策略，但很少有人注意到HSIs在减少自然减员方面的作用。关注HSIs是发展STEM职业成功途径的关键因素。网络社区将涉及不同地区的社会科学家在西班牙裔研究生课程完成的研究，以补充现有的研究本科完成。开发一个全面的，可扩展的模式，为学生的跨机构的进步，特别是双语和双文化的学生团体与独特的需求相结合，是至关重要的增长干管道。通过试点，该项目将让两年制学院和大学开始初步调查建立强大的学生身份，学生归属感，宣传和准备对加速学生进入，坚持专业，考虑，进入并最终完成计算领域研究生学习的影响。

A partnership of institutions and organizations from public and private sectors, all with an established record in advancing Hispanics in higher education, will form a networked community across regions of the United States with significant Hispanic populations to collectively adapt and adopt proven practices and apply them throughout the higher education system of two-year colleges and baccalaureate-, master's-, and doctorate-granting universities. The partnership builds on the successful NSF-funded Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) that has emerged as a significant pipeline of new recruits into computing graduate studies, industry, and the professoriate throughout the nation. Even through the Hispanic population has reached 17% nationally, a mere 4% STEM Master's and 3% STEM doctorate degrees are awarded nationwide to Hispanics in 2012-2013. The desperate need to reach parity is clear. The shared purpose and bold vision of the effort is to achieve parity in the number of Hispanics who complete computation-based graduate studies. The focus will be on targeting the pool of talented students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) who, for various reasons, do not choose to continue on STEM educational and career pathways. The efforts will focus on transitioning Hispanic students from associate degree programs to baccalaureate programs, and from baccalaureate programs (regardless of where they began their studies) to completion of graduate degrees.The project will establish a common agenda that guides the vision and strategy for collective impact, conduct data collection to longitudinally track student movement across campuses, and launch a multi-site pilot to test feasibility of the full-scale plan and process for change. While prior research has identified strategies for increasing graduate program completion rates for underrepresented minorities, little attention has been paid to the role of HSIs in reducing attrition. Attention to HSIs is a critical element in developing successful pathways to STEM careers. The networked community will involve social scientists across the different regions in research on Hispanic graduate program completion, to complement existing research on undergraduate completion. Developing a comprehensive, scalable model for cross-institutional advancement of students, in particular the combination of a bilingual and bicultural student body with unique needs, is critical to grow the STEM pipeline. Through a pilot, the project will engage two-year colleges and universities to begin the initial investigation on the impact of building strong student identity, student belonging, advocacy, and preparation on accelerating the number of students entering, persisting in the major, and considering, entering, and ultimately completing graduate studies in computational areas.
