Big Ten Academic Alliance Summit on Advancing Undergraduate Women in STEM

在美国国家科学基金会改善本科STEM教育计划：教育与人力资源（IUSE: EHR）的支持下，该项目旨在通过促进提高有色人种女性在STEM中的代表性和成功的策略和机会，为国家利益服务。平等地获得科学探究和STEM职业是美国国家科学基金会和整个国家的一个重要目标，然而，少数民族学生，尤其是有色人种女性，参与科学事业的人数并不能代表一般人群。本次研讨会建议在十大学术联盟的机构背景下确定解决这种不平等的挑战和战略。来自十大校园的教师和管理人员将于2019年6月5日至8日聚集在罗格斯大学，与校园领导和校园气候专家进行讨论，以确定挑战并制定策略，促进有色人种本科女性在STEM领域的成就和进步。参与者将研究从十大校园收集的调查数据，以确定在个别校园使用的有效策略和做法。然后，校际工作组将制定计划，在校园内实施这些战略。工作组将建立项目目标并制定有效评估计划。讲习班的成果将收集在一份书面报告中，分发给十大教务长，并分发给国家媒体。NSF IUSE: EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过机构和社区转型轨道，该计划支持高等教育机构和学科社区的STEM教育转型和改善。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

With support from the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR), this project aims to serve the national interest by promoting strategies and opportunities to improve the representation and success of women of color in STEM. Equal access to scientific inquiry and STEM careers is an important goal for the National Science Foundation and for the nation as a whole, yet minority students, particularly women of color, are not participating in the scientific enterprise in numbers representative of the general population. This workshop proposes to identify challenges and strategies to address this inequity within the context of the institutions of the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Faculty and administrators from the Big Ten campuses will gather at Rutgers University on June 5-8, 2019 to engage in discussions with campus leaders and campus climate experts to identify challenges and develop strategies to promote achievement and advancement of undergraduate women of color in STEM.Participants will examine survey data collected from Big Ten campuses to identify effective strategies and practices in use on individual campuses. Inter-university working groups will then develop plans for implementing these strategies across campuses. Working groups will establish program goals and develop plans for effective evaluation. Workshop results will be collected in a written report circulated to Big Ten provosts and distributed to national outlets. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Institutional and Community Transformation track, the program supports efforts to transform and improve STEM education across institutions of higher education and disciplinary communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
